If you know our family then you know that Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is a very special place to us. On July 29th, 2019 we drove our sweet 10 month old baby to Pittsburgh after his mobility rapidly declined... The team at CHP worked endlessly that night in the Emergency room running tests, completing lab work and getting us every answer that we needed.

On July 30th, at 1:30 AM the team at Children's gave us our diagnosis. Our sweet little baby who would be turning 11 months old the next day, was going to battle Neuroblastoma. Maverick still travels to Children's every 3 months for lab work and clinic appointments. He receives MRI's every 6 months and the team there is still rallying behind us every step of the way. 

I want to make a difference for sick kids and their families. I will be joining thousands of others in my community and across the world in support of a movement to advance pediatric health care for kids and families in need.

Every child deserves the chance to just be a kid. But for kids who are sick or injured, hospital visits and treatments can take time away from the activities that make being a kid so special.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation to my page. You, too, can help provide hope, healing, and healthier tomorrows for the brave kids at UPMC Children’s Hospital.

Thank you for your support as my family and I Walk for Children’s!
