Honoring Jamie’s Memory
Jamie Knotts was only 5 months old when she passed away from a rare liver cancer. Over the past seven years, Jamie’s Run has raised more than $380,000 for Cancer Clinical Trials and Family Support Programs at Connecticut Children’s in her name.
Your participation supports leading-edge cancer research, providing essential resources necessary to find a cure. Beyond the medicine, emotional and financial assistance is crucial to families fighting this disease. The diagnosis of a child with cancer is devastating. Until a cure is found, the mission of Jamie’s Run is to care for the whole family as they move through treatment and beyond.
Individual and team fundraising is available at jamiesrun.org.
Who You ARE Supporting
My second pregnancy was a smooth, healthy one with no red flags on any of my routine ultrasounds. Rylan was born in Waterbury on Monday, October 6, 2015 weighing 9lbs 1oz. There were no red flags at the time of Rylan’s birth. It was not until 24 hours later, when he was ready to be discharged, that everything changed. Rylan went for two routine tests. A hearing test and a fairly new test for newborns- the pulse ox test (non-invasive test measures blood oxygen in the body).
