Ryleigh Murphy- Raising Money for Akron Children's
Thank you for taking the time to visit my KDD Change Maker fundraising page!
Some of you may know that Ryleigh started her Children's hospital fundraising efforts last summer in 2022 with a simple lemonade stand, raising $184! She has since turned that into a "charity" of her own known as 'Kids Matter Ry Cares' where she has raised well over $2000 with a variety of events and activities over the past year. She has inspired all of us to be a better person and to appreciate the little things and love every minute of life.
On Sept 27, 2021, Ryleigh was rushed into emergency brain surgery for a life-threatening brain infection. We spent 29 days in the hospital fighting that infection, for the first week Ryleigh was unable to talk due to the brain damage from the infection. We are incredibly lucky that she has overcome MOST of the problems and defiects that could have been a result of this devestating illness but we are not out of the woods yet. Ryleigh underwent 9 neurosurgies in less than 12m due to this ordeal. She has proven to be the strongest person I know and she's only 8! I am in awe of her attitude and positivity day after day.
Ryleigh has a heart of gold and wants to do whatever she can to give to the kids in the hospital. She wants to ensure to lift thier spirits and encourgage them to recover as quickly as possible. The gifts and games she received and played with the Child-life specialist were such a special part of her hospital stay. By raising money, she wants to make sure other children have that experience as well.
