Great hospital. They are the premier pediatric orthopedic hospital in this part of the United States. They have treated over 180,000 kids ( 18 and younger ) and never charged the families one dime. Everything is from contributions.

I will add a link that tells about the hospital.

This is also on one of the BMRA campsite clean-up days I believe,but I am going to try my best to make it to both of these...

I'd be happy to let them draw some reptilian blood from me.

Maybe we should make it a club run? Saturday morning?

Awesome hospital. I know from personal experience. I was a patient there in my teenage years. I had 5 surgeries on my neck and back during that time and my parents were never charged a penny. I also volunteered at the hospital for a while. They don't even buy the linens for the hospital. They have volunteers that sew and make everything. It is amazing!! The hospital is run entirely by donations. They do not accept any government money. Everyone should try to do what they can to keep this hospital going. They do incredible things there and touch so many lives.

Oh, by the way, don't tell my doctors that I go wheeling. :nono:
