It supports essential services for children in the District of Columbia and far beyond. Averaging over 450,000 patient visits, 18,000 surgeries, $82 million in uncompensated care, and $115 million in community benefits like wellness programs, Children%u2019s National provides lifesaving care to children near and far. For me, the race is even more personal. October 3 is the day before the one-year anniversary since my son Moses passed away at just 19 days old.When your child passes away, it can feel like your hope for the future passes on with him. But this race has given me a renewed purpose. My race team %u201cRemembering Moses%u201d is raising the seed money for the Moses Warren McCord Memorial Fund, which will benefit Children%u2019s National Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and support acute care, palliative care, and research. My husband William and I often say that if we help just one more family bring their baby home, that%u2019s everything. And it is. But we%u2019d like to help even more families, and we hope you%u2019ll help us.There are a few ways you can get involved. First, you can run alongside us.
