As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Childrens Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM), running as a Champion for CHAMand supporting our athletes, medical teams, and staffis more significant than ever.

Throughout our history, CHAM teams have shared an unwavering dedication to providing children with every opportunity to realize their full potentialregardless of circumstance or ability to pay. Our dynamic and diverse home faces some of the most difficult and rampant health challenges in the country. As the borough's largest health system, we see ourselves as an engine for social good, operating under the ethos that healthcare access should be equitable, and we are proud to serve as a model for urban healthcare systems nationwide.

Money raised by Champion for CHAM marathon runners will benefit CHAM's Quality in Life Team (QUILT). These palliative care experts stand with families in navigating medical decisions and offer support as they face the uncertainty of life-threatening and fatal illnesses.

Thank you for caring for those in need. We look forward to cheering on our Champions for CHAM!
