Friends & Family,
Welcome to my fundraising page! As many of you know, our son Theo is currently fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia and receiving treatment through Beacon Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. We are raising money for Beacon Children's Hospital by participating in Sunburst Races. With your help, the money we raise will directly support the Child Life and Creative Services Program at Beacon Children's Hospital. The role of a Child Life Specialist has been invaluable to Theo during his inpatient stay and his many outpatient clinic visits.
Child Life programming supports children and families by:
-Helping children cope with anxiety, fear, separation and adjustment in the hospital setting
-Making doctors, needles, tests and procedures a little less scary
-Providing art, music and pet therapy
-Organizing activities for patients and their families
-Addressing concerns and telling patients what to expect
-Offering endless support with a listening ear, encouraging words and a loving hand to hold
Join the cause and together we'll make an impact that reaches far beyond the finish line - one that helps kids and families when they need it most.
