This is my second time running the Falmouth Road Race in support of the Mother's Milk Bank Northeast (MMBNE). In my practice as a neonatologist at Brigham & Women's Hospital, my tiny patients rely on pasteurized donor milk from MMBNE. As a human milk researcher, I know that when mother's milk is not available or is in short supply, donor milk is the next best choice - milk is essential medicine.
I have been a a member of the MMBNE Advisory Board for over a decade, and have never met a group of professionals more dedicated to helping babies and families while continuously growing and improving the organization every day. I am grateful for this opportunity to run the Falmouth Road Race and proud to fundraise for MMBNE.
Please consider making a donation to ensure that the tiniest babies in our community continue to have access to pasteurized donor milk. Your donation will make a difference!
Description
Funds raised for Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast help to provide 1.5 million feedings annually for fragile infants.
"When my son was born, I felt like a failure. He was born too early; I failed at keeping him safely inside of me. My milk wasn't in yet and I couldn't even feed my baby. Then I was offered donor milk, and it felt like a group of other moms suddenly stood up beside me saying, 'We got you, you don't have to do this alone.' I can't begin to tell you what a difference that made for me and my little guy." -- Ashley and her son Ben - Milk recipient family
