For the Kids and Families Who Need it Most.

This October, I’m participating in the 19th Annual CHaD HERO to raise crucial funds for Dartmouth Health Children’s and the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD). I have participated in this event for many years since returning to the Upper Valley after graduate school.  Last year, it carried a whole new meaning for me as I ran the fun run with my first child, Mr. William.

The CHaD HERO is a community fundraising event whose proceeds fund vital services throughout Dartmouth Health Children’s and CHaD, including the Child Life Program, Molly's Place, the Child Advocacy & Protection Program, and more. 

I sincerely appreciate your support on behalf of Dartmouth Health Children’s and here are some reasons I'm asking for a donation:

• Dartmouth Health Children’s serves 90,000 unique pediatric patients annually from across Northern New England
• Children's Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD) is New Hampshire's only children's hospital
• No child is ever turned away due to financial or insurance circumstances

Thanks to the continued generosity of The Jack & Dorothy Byrne Foundation, all CHaD HERO participant funds will be matched 1-to-1 (until the match is complete)*. This means any donation you contribute will be doubled. How’s that for impact?!

Thank you in advance for your support! HEROES together including Mr. William who will be joining me again this year.

Love, Sarah
