Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago

Growing up, childhood struggles with eating and persistent vomiting led me on a journey through various hospitals. It was at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago that I finally found answers. Diagnosed with the rare condition of portal hypertension, my portal vein faced excessive pressure, disrupting the normal flow of blood.

The dedicated doctors at Lurie Children’s Hospital became my saving grace. Through two Rex-shunt operations, they crafted a new passage for the blood, connecting my jugular vein to my stomach. These procedures were not just medical interventions; they were the threads that wove the fabric of my survival.

Months of recovery in Chicago followed, filled with regular check-ins and unwavering support from the hospital. Now, I'm deeply grateful and committed to giving back. I make it my goal to hold yearly soccer tournaments within the community, raising money to give back to the hospital. But I want to give an opportunity for all to help, as I know our community is amazing in this way. Your generous donations to this cause mean more than words can express.

For the third year in a row, the Berk family is raising money to celebrate Lauren Berk, who should be turning 43 years old today. Lauren is so missed and still so loved and her impact and memory are seen every single day. This year we are raising money to support Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago -- a place that means a lot to our family. Loo's whole deal was helping others and finding a way to make a positive impact on other people's lives. On her birthday, there is no better way to honor her than by helping the incredible folks at Luries. HAPPY LAUREN BERK DAY!

Hello! We are Weronika and Tyler, and we will be participating in the Run for Gus 2025.

Weronika is a childhood cancer survivor, and Tyler watched someone close to him — his neighbor and dear friend — lose their battle with cancer. We’ve both seen firsthand the devastating impact cancer has on children and their families, and we carry those experiences with us in every step we take. That’s why we’re proud to be W&T: Running for a Cure — running not just for ourselves, but for the kids still fighting, the families still hoping, and the futures that deserve to be saved. We’re raising funds for Lurie Children’s Hospital because we believe every child should have a chance to grow up, dream big, and live fully. Your support helps provide life-saving care, groundbreaking research, and hope where it’s needed most. Join us in making a difference. Whether you donate, share our story, or cheer us on, you’re helping turn miles into miracles.

$100 is enough to help make a child’s hospital stay a more positive experience with activities, supplies, and toys.

$250 can provide patients with the support they need to thrive after lengthy hospital stays.

In 2016, a horse accident left me with a severe injury—an accident in which my finger was bitten off. The recovery process was challenging both physically and mentally, but I was fortunate to receive exceptional care at Lurie Children's Hospital. Today, as a way to give back and show my gratitude, I am raising funds to support the hospital that helped me heal. Your donation will help bring smiles to other children in need, just as they helped me during my recovery.
