For the Kids and Families Who Need it Most.

This October, I’m participating in the 18th Annual CHaD HERO 5k, to raise crucial funds for Dartmouth Health Children’s and the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD). It will be my 6th CHaD HERO, and I'm so excited to have my brother and sister join me this time!

I started running the CHaD 5k in kindergarten because I know how important this care is for babies like my sister, who spent time in the NICU, and kids from all over our area who are battling serious illnesses and injuries. This year is particularly meaningful to me, as I am running with a team - Geffen's Geese - to support my friend Geffen, who is currently receiving treatment at CHaD.

Please support me with a donation today. All donations are currently being matched by the Dorothy and Jack Byrne Foundation, so I can double my impact! Every Donation Matters – and can be doubled today! $5 = $10!

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. Here are some reasons I'm asking for your 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!
