Hello, this is Macy! I'm asking my friends and family to please join me in walking or running a virtual 5k. This is not an ordinary 5K; this is to raise money and support the department of Chronic Pain at CHOP. The Chronic Pain Department or the AMPS program mission is to STOP CHILDHOOD PAIN!!! I'm pretty sure everyone knows, but I was there for over a month last year and I fought for my life and I won the battle!! I have a pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type 1.. there was not a day where I didn't feel the worst pain of my life... the AMPS program at CHOP helped me to beat that pain! I want to raise money to give other kids a chance to do the same! This may not seem like a lot, but it really makes all the difference!
LOVE, Macy and my Family
From the program:
We need YOUR help to make this event a success. You can help by not only registering to walk/run and encouraging friends and family to do the same, but also by creating your own fundraiser. We will be giving an award for our biggest fundraiser. So gather your family, friends and supporters and start your fundraiser now!
All funds raised will go toward purchasing supplies for the program that may not be covered by hospital budget but allow us to provide the most creative and effective treatment plan for each patient who comes into the program, toward outings for program patients in order to practice being functional in their environment as well as toward research into AMP. This research benefits all those who suffer from AMP now and those who may suffer from it in the future, allowing us to treat each patient with evidence based treatment plans whether in clinic, outpatient or as a part of our intensive program.
Every dollar donated is tax deductible through the RND Educational Foundation.
Please consider donating to this cause or starting your own fundraiser on this site. Remember, at the end of June, we will have an award for the biggest fundraiser so start NOW!!
