I’d like to introduce you to someone very important to my heart, Claire. She’s a pediatric oncology nurse who came into our lives under the toughest circumstances, stepping into our baby’s hospital room and making an immediate difference. Her presence brought laughter in the midst of our hardest nights, and she was there, providing comfort and compassion, during our baby’s final moments.
Claire didn’t just provide medical care; she walked with us through the most painful goodbye a parent can experience. Now, she’s running a marathon to support Foxbox, the nonprofit we started to help babies and families like ours endure long hospital stays.
On March 17th, she and 30 other runners will brave the cold and rainy Portland weather to honor the youngest patients in children’s hospitals.
This is about recognizing someone who embodies true kindness and empathy in a situation where it’s most needed. Supporting Claire and her marathon runners means extending that kindness further. A donation of $50 or more before 3/17 gets you a limited edition race shirt designed by the incredible James Abercrombie! (Check out the shirt design in the comments!)
Donate at the Givebutter fundraiser: https://lnkd.in/ggj2EiWx
Supporting this cause is a direct way to make an impact in the lives of babies facing long hospitals stays while supporting an amazing human on her journey to raise awareness for her tiniest patients.
Please share, comment, or support in whatever way feels right to you. Let’s decide to use LinkedIn & our extra 24-hours (thanks Leap Day!) for good and spread Claire’s message.
