It is hard to believe this will be our 12th year participating in Move For the Kids! 

This fundraising event remains incredibly important to us because of the difference Lurie continues to make in Mallory's life and the lives of so many other children. 

We are so proud and amazed by Mallory and all she has accomplished since she was first admitted to Lurie as a 10 month old. She has surpassed all our hopes and expectations, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude to have such a happy, healthy, busy, brilliant, loving, laughing and thriving twelve year old. 

None of the progress Mallory has made would be possible without the vast team of doctors, nurses, specialists, audiologists, therapists, coordinators and countless experts at Lurie. We still visit Lurie on a regular basis, and many of the services Mallory currently benefits from are a result of the hospital's partnership with The Foundation for Hearing and Speech Resources, an organization that is committed to improving the lives of children with hearing loss and that our family helps to support. 

As we have done the last few years, all donations secured through the Mal's Pals team will directly fund the FHSR programs at Lurie. A donation to Mal's Pals and FHSR will provide vital treatment and audiology support services for Lurie patients and their families. All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by Lurie Children’s Foundation.

We are so grateful for your friendship and support during the last several years and thank you for your consideration of Lurie and FHSR!

With love and appreciation, 

Mal, Chris, Nick & Jen Evangelides
