Dear ,
All around are signs of a new season—daffodils blooming, birds chirping, and sunny days stretching later into evenings. Here in Boston, another rite of spring is the Boston Marathon: thousands of runners wending their way through 26.2 miles of city streets and small New England towns.
Last week, 200 Miles for Miracles runners raised more than $2.8 million to support lifesaving care and research for kids at Boston Children’s Hospital. Many on the team, like Chad, ran in honor of loved ones afflicted with serious illnesses. And dozens of supporters and patient partners cheered them on. I am grateful to all of you who deliver hope and renewal to our patients—in this and every season.
Thank you for all you do to support kids and families,
Lynn Susman
President, Boston Children's Hospital Trust

Hope for Conner
Conner was born with a rare brain condition that often leads to devastating symptoms (like the loss of speech, vision and movement) and death. In March, Conner received a groundbreaking gene therapy at Boston Children’s to fight the disease and save his life.
