I went to Children's Hospital when I was 4 for a hip condition, spent some of preschool in a wheelchair and cast, several years in Physical Therapy, and am thankfully far better now, at 22, than my initial prognosis looked. The Doctors at Children's, especially Dr. James, Kasser, former head of Orthopedics, helped my family and myself to getting back on my feet. With alot of work, and their help, I've been stronger than I ever have been in my life. I'm currently double majoring in Music & Health Science at Umass Boston, and am currently applying to Physical Therapy Programs in Boston.

Last Fall, I began my 'Maybe This Christmas' fundraiser for Children's, and raised $800. In addition, I included all of the sales from my "Maybe This Christmas EP", featuring 3 original Christmas songs. After last year's success, I'm running the fundraiser again, and have already collected $243 from online and cash/check donations. 

You can make a direct online donation through the official 'Maybe This Christams Fundraiser' page on Children's site:

Any sized donations are appreciated. Thanks for your help,

Michael Maloney
