Dear Friends,

Welcome to our fundraising page! We are participating in the Miracles in Motion 5K, benefiting Johns Hopkins Children's Center for our son, John. By supporting us, you are supporting patient-and-family-centered care, education, and research efforts for more than 100,000 patients seen at the Children's Center each year.

When I was pregnant, we learned John would be born with congenital heart disease and require surgeries throughout his life. Between prenatal appointments, extra care after birth, and open-heart surgery in his first few months, we’ve spent countless hours with the pediatric cardiology team. I'm raising money to support research that could improve surgical technology—research that may mean John faces fewer and less invasive procedures as he grows.

Please consider donating to my page to improve the lives of patients and families at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. And don’t forget to check if your employer offers matching gifts—it’s an easy way to double your impact!
