Patient Ambassadors Program
Patient Ambassador Program
Their stories could fill volumes. The teen who put baseball on hold after an allergic reaction nearly cut his life short. The little heart warrior who has bravely coped with multiple surgeries and hospitalizations. The fun-loving toddler who hopes that one day, there will be a cure for the auto-immune disorder that changed her life forever. Despite all they’ve been through, these brave young people are determined to give back to others through our Patient Ambassador Program. Each year, these remarkable kids share their stories in a variety of ways, including community events, media interviews, videos, and more. Together, they are helping to make life better for kids just like them.
