Hello all my name is Kyrie, welcome to my page. I am 3 years old and a NICU Patient Champion. My family and I are participating in Walk for Children’s 2022 presented by UPMC and UPMC Health Plan. I want to make a difference for sick kids and their families. I had previously been staying at Children's Hospital in 2019 due to being born with Gastroschisis which is a defect that wouldn't allow my abdominal wall to close. Unfortunately, I entered this world with my small intestines, bladder, and stomach outside of my belly. Up to date, I have had 4 successful surgeries but no worries I am as happy, and healthy as I can be. We will be joining thousands of others in our 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 I Walk for Children’s!
