Patient Champions
In recognition of all they go through and overcome, we recognize and celebrate all UPMC Children's patients, past and present, who we call patient champions.

Who is a Patient Champion?
We recognize all UPMC Children's patients — regardless of your age. Whether your journey with UPMC Children’s lasted hours, months, years, or is ongoing, you are a champion. You are why we walk.
How do I Register as a Patient Champion?
During registration, select “Patient Champion,” when prompted. You will automatically be included as a patient champion and will receive your shirt, champion medal, and patient champion badge on your fundraising page.
How are Patient Champions Recognized?
Every patient champion will receive:
- a purple shirt
- a patient champion medal
- a patient champion badge on their fundraising page
Patient champions are also invited to help kick off Walk for Children’s in the patient champion parade.
