I am a Certified Child Life Specialist at Nemours in Orlando and I help patients and families understand and cope with their hospital stay.

To the naked eye, it looks like I play all day.  I use dolls or stuffed animals and doctors kits to teach kids about their procedures, I use games and books to help kids understand their illness, I use art activities and nerf guns to help kids express their feelings, and I use sensory friendly tools to create a calm and comforting environment inside of the hospital.  So yes, I do play all day, but I play with a purpose.

I wouldn't be able to do my job with your help.  By making a donation today, you ensuring that I have the supplies and materials I need to be able to help kids cope.

I am asking everyone to make a pledge for every mile I will run (13.1) to help me help our kids.

$1 per mile = $13.10

$2 per mile = $26.20

$5 per mile = $65.50

$10 per mile = $131.00
