I am participating in Walk for Children’s 2021 presented by UPMC and UPMC Health Plan because my husband lost his son, Liam, in June 2015 and this is one of the ways we remember him! In addition, our son Connor, was admitted to CHOP in February of 2026 for an emergency appendectomy. We could not have asked for better care to be given to our son and our whole family during our stay! The staff of Children’s hospital truly do care about our little warriors! 

We want to make a difference for sick kids and their families as we know just a small bit of how stressful a hospital stay can be. 

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 I Walk for Children’s!
