When Iliana was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) as an infant, she had to travel to Boston for a bone marrow transplant. Soon, thanks to Connecticut Children’s new Advanced Cellular & Gene Therapy Unit opening next fall, kids like Iliana can receive life-saving treatments closer to home. Your support on PJ Day will help ensure our patients get the best care - when they need it, where they live! On how to get involved, https://bit.ly/3C8COLz.

We’re barely a month away from the 2024 PJ Day! Last year, over 600 schools and 200 businesses participated—amazing!
