Mikey's Miracle Team
Our daughter Everly was admitted to Akron Childrens NICU within Akron General shortly after birth. It was an extremely scary time but we are grateful for the wonderful care she received there. While Everly’s stay was only a few days, many other babies aren’t so fortunate. We are joining this walk in honor of the Paulus family, who’s son Mikey was born at 30 weeks and spent many weeks at Akron Childrens main NICU. We are grateful for this opportunity to fundraise for Akron Children’s to help continue care for many other families going through the difficult experience of having a baby in the NICU.
In 2017, Walk for Babies hit a mile stone of over $1 Million dollars raised since 2008. Without the support of community members like you, Akron Children’s Hospital would not be able to supply the needed assistance to patients and their families in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Akron Children's Hospital's NICU treats 1,800 children annually and is nationally ranked according to U.S News & World Report.
Walk for Babies was created by one family and now has the support of over 1,700 participants, plus their friends and family. As we look towards the future, our goal is to continue to create a community event that makes an impact on local patients for many years to come.
Thank you for your support of Akron Children’s mission and dedication to improving the health of the communities served.
