But to prepare for the marathon, Bill now trains daily with fellow team member Mike Rizzo. They meet in downtown Boston for 6 a.m. runs out to Castle Island or along the Charles River. Nicole was only 10 months old when she underwent a living related donor liver transplant. It has been a little over a year since her transplant, and she is doing well. We hope that your fund-raising efforts have been successful.
People often ask who the top fundraisers are and how much they raise.
You, too, can aim high and become one of the top fund-raisers this year. Charlene DeLoach is another first-time marathon runner. A healthcare analyst for Senator Richard Moore, who co-chairs the Joint Commission on Healthcare, Charlene was first introduced to Children's Hospital Boston through her work. But it was after her grandfather's death last year that she decided to run the Boston Marathon and join the Kids at Heart Marathon Team. Charlene says Children's is the only charity she wanted to run for, in part because of the hospital's leadership in addressing the issue of medical errors, which played a role in her grandfather's death.
