Help Us Swim, Bike, and Run for a Healthier Boston!

Hi there!

We are Chiara and Leah: a Pediatrics resident at the Boston Combined Residency Program (which includes Boston Medical Center!) and a post-doc at Boston Children’s Hospital, and we’ve spontaneously decided to tackle the Boston Triathlon, and no, it’s not a late-night, caffeine-fueled decision—we’re really doing it! And guess what? We’re raising $2,000 for BMC while we’re at it!

Why We’re Racing:

BMC is all about providing top-notch, accessible care for everyone. They don’t just stop at traditional medical services—they offer a whole suite of programs to make sure everyone gets the care they need to stay healthy. And, they have a vision to make Boston the healthiest urban population in the world. We’re all in for that!

Why We Need You:

As we train for this triathlon (which involves more swimming, biking, and running than we’ve ever attempted before), we’re hoping you’ll help us reach our fundraising goal. Think of it this way: every dollar you donate helps us avoid the embarrassment of finishing last and supports BMC in making a huge difference in our community.

What You Can Do:

* Donate: Your contribution will go directly to supporting [BBB Hospital] and their awesome mission.

* Share: Spread the word! Let your friends, family, and coworkers know about our epic (and slightly crazy) adventure.

* Cheer Us On: Follow our journey and send us virtual high-fives as we navigate this triathlon.

*

We’re excited to take on this challenge, and we promise to push through every mile (or at least try not to be last). Your support means the world to us—and to the folks at BMC who will benefit from your generosity.

Thanks a million for your support and for helping us make Boston a little bit healthier (and us a bit less exhausted)!

Chiara & Leah

P.S. If you see us wheezing and stumbling at the finish line, just remember: we’re doing it for a great cause!
