I am participating in the Boston 10K to support the Brigham NICU because I witness every day the strength and courage of families facing the challenges of premature birth and critical illness. As a Brigham NICU Family Support Specialist, I have the honor of walking alongside parents during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Running this race is my way of honoring their journeys and raising awareness for the vital care we provide. Every mile is a tribute to the resilience of NICU families and the unwavering dedication of our care team. Supporting the NICU means supporting hope, healing, and a brighter future for our tiniest patients and their families.

All funds raised will go directly back to the NICU to support programs to families such as special events, lunches, dinners, coffee in the break room, books for families and so much more. 

Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), a founding member of Mass General Brigham and a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, and Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital (BWFH) provide compassionate, high-quality care in virtually every medical and surgical specialty to patients locally, regionally, nationally and around the world. Every day, our clinicians, researchers, and caregivers work to find new ways to predict, prevent, and treat the most challenging diseases of our time while delivering world-class care with a profoundly human touch.

 Our Brigham 10K Teammates are proud to fuel quality patient care, innovative training, and life-changing discoveries that will benefit patients here in Boston and around the world, all in support of an area that is meaningful to them.

Thank you for supporting this extraordinary group of runners.
