Thanks for visiting my web page for the Walk for St. Mary's Kids , which will be held this year at The Bronx Zoo, October 17th at 10 am!
Hi Everyone,
Most of you have received an email each year from me asking for any support you can give, either through a donation or simply sharing with others about the amazing care children receive at St. Mary's. I continure to participate in fundraising, in many forms, for this organization because I have witnessed, since 2004, how all funds raised have gone directly to clinical programs and family support in ways that surprise everyone who comes through our doors. Many of you have watched my animation (understatement, I'm sure) about the growth of the specialized programs to address the needs of the children and their families. I am truly in awe of the support we continue to receive that has allowed us to bring in robotics in physical therapy, an aquatics program right in our building, advanced equipment for neurorehabilitation, devices that clinicans use to treat swallow dysfunction, and virtual reality systems....none of which are covered by healthcare dollars and yet , these most vulnerable children now have access to everything they need maximize their potential and improve their quality of life. This year, I have joined the Patient & Family Services (PFS)team who have all worked tirelessly and compasssionately while facing the unique challenges of the pandemic!
Anything you can contribute will make a huge difference and if you are not in a position to donate, you will change the world by simply sharing the story of these amazing kids!
