Miles for Miracles
More than 2,400 people touched by Children's Hospital Boston gathered for a scenic stroll along the Charles River on June 11 at Miles for Miracles. The hospital's fourth annual pledge walk joined together patients, families, friends and hospital staff for a great cause—life-saving care for kids throughout New England and around the world.
Each participant pledged to raise a minimum of $100 for the hospital, and so far, more than $680,000 has been collected with pledges still pouring in.
CBS4 news anchor Lisa Hughes and WBZ-AM's Anthony Silva were joined by Boston Celtics Tony Allen, Dwayne Jones, Delonte West and Managing Partner and Governor Wyc Grousbeck for the opening ceremonies, as they sent walkers off down the Esplanade on the 7- and 2-mile pledge walks.
Miles for Miracles is made possible through the generous contributions of sponsors: Credit Unions of Massachusetts, Kohl's, Aquafina, Stride Rite, WBZ Newsradio 1030, CBS4, The Improper Bostonian, The Allied Group and CambridgeSide Galleria.
