We appreciate you stopping by to learn more about our goal to raise money for the Pediatric Intestinal Rehabilitation Program at MassGeneral Hospital for Children. A team of ten runners will cover 200 miles on behalf of the clinic.
Our son Zachary Ostrowski was born with disease called Hirschsprung’s disease. This is a disease of the colon in which certain nerve cells, known as ganglion cells, are absent, causing chronic constipation. Hirschsprung’s disease, like many diseases of the colon, has no cure. Most children are diagnosed as newborns. Zack was diagnosed later in life after struggling with severe pain and difficulty gaining weight. Zachary has been given a chance to live a normal and healthy life through the efforts of MGH and the PIRP. We can't do enough to thank them so we are raising funds so they can help more kids like Zack.
You can sponsor a runner by donating online via PayPal.
Net Proceeds raised will be given to the Pediatric Intestinal Rehab Program to support their research into identifying the causes and discovering treatments for Hirschsprung's disease and other intestinal disorders in children.
