Patient Partners
Current and former patients are invited to join the program to be matched with a runner training and fundraising for Boston Children’s Hospital. Patient Partners are encouraged to share their Boston Children’s journey with their runner to inspire and motivate them to finish the 26.2 miles! Patient Partners are part of the race day excitement and are honorary members of the Miles for Miracles team.
Benefits
- Team celebrations — Take part in a season kickoff to meet your runner and a pre-race event to get inspired for Marathon Monday.
- Team practice volunteers — Inspire the team at a Saturday training run by sharing your story and/or hosting a water stop.
- Race day cheering sections — Join us on race day to cheer on the Boston Children’s runners and wear your complimentary Miles for Miracles T-shirt.
- Fundraising prizes – Patient Partners aren’t required to fundraise, but you’ll receive some swag if you do!
Please note: Miles for Miracles alumni runners and Patient Partners must re-apply and be re-selected each year to participate in the team. We’ll do our best to accommodate alumni runners and Patient Partners who would like to be paired up again this year.
Team Remember
Team Remember is a special part of our Miles for Miracles team made up of runners who are honoring the memory of a loved one—or who have someone running in their loved one’s memory. Families and runners can choose to honor their loved one in whatever way feels most meaningful and comfortable to them, while still being part of the larger team and community. To learn more or to participate, families can register directly or email run@chtrust.org for details.
