My Story…
Only a couple more days til Falmouth! Please help surpass my goal for Live4Evan! Thank you:)
Live4Evan is a very special organization. This year I will be running in the Falmouth Road Race with my sister, Betsy, in support of and appreciation for Live4Evan. I am a mom and a NICU nurse at a level 3 NICU in southern New Hampshire. We have transferred infants to BCH for cardiac surgery and care. Emotionally, this is such a challenging time for parents as they are away from home, their support systems and sometimes their other children. They also want to be close to their fragile infant. Live4Evan helps these families with housing/financial support during this emotionally trying time.
Thank you Live4Evan for all you do.

Description
ABOUT US: The Live4Evan Organization was formed out of a desire to recognize and support the critical relationship between a child and their loved ones. We believe that there is no greater gift to be given than a parent’s love to a child. We understand the importance of staying by a child’s side without having to worry about the additional burdens that life can place on us. And so, our organization works tirelessly to provide financial and emotional support to families by providing them with temporary housing while their child receives congenital cardiac treatment.
The Falmouth Road Race has been a crucial fundraiser for Live4Evan for the past 6 years. Over this time, the Live4Evan team members have collectively raised over $500,000. Thanks in large part to these efforts, Live4Evan is currently providing SIX patient-family apartments for families traveling to Boston for pediatric cardiac care. These apartments are next to Boston Children's Hospital and offer calm and comfort in the midst of such a difficult time. The close proximity to the hospital ensures that caretakers can be at their loved ones bedside in a moment's notice. The need for patient-family housing is critical and Live4Evan is committed to increasing our apartment portfolio in order to help additional families.
OUR STORY: Live4Evan was founded in memory of Evan Girardi, who passed away his senior year of college from a heart arrhythmia. Evan was born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) known as Corrected L-Transposition of the Great Arteries. Despite his heart condition, Evan lived his life to the fullest. Rather than allow Evan’s passing to put an end to the life and legacy that Evan had built, his friends and family formed Live4Evan to serve as a testament to the power of relationships and the importance of having loved ones by your side.
