Gratitudes
The following letter was sent to Jennifer Finn, general manager at Fitcorp.
Dear Jennifer, Five months ago my teenage son was hospitalized at Children's Hospital Boston. What began as a simple case of mono turned into a serious illness that ultimately necessitated him having a bone marrow transplant. My wife and I spent four months at Children's with our son, and we continue to return with him on an outpatient basis during the long recovery period.
During my son's hospitalization, I managed to set aside time every day to come to Fitcorp so that I could work out, shower, shave and try to clear my head. As difficult as this ordeal has been for me and my family, I cannot even begin to imagine what it would have been like had I not been able to retreat to Fitcorp. It is hard to put into words just how important it was to have your club available to me, even for this short time each day.
I just wanted to thank you so much for making this resource available to me and other families of Children's patients. It is a wonderful service that you provide to parents who must endure the nightmare of having a sick child.
