Sunny skies and big smiles at Mount Sunapee!

Recently, our New Balance Adaptive Sports Program at Franciscan Children’s partnered with NEHSA, New England Healing Sports Assoc. (NEHSA) for an incredible day on the slopes. Nearly 20 kids and their families joined us - many skiing the bunny hills and building confidence alongside dedicated instructors.

It was amazing to see so many athletes try something new and celebrate their successes. If you have a child who could benefit from adaptive sports, check out our program https://ow.ly/ln1k50YbQSs.

We love it when the New England Patriots come and support our kids - lifting them up while they are in the hospital. Now it's our turn to cheer them on as they compete in Super Bowl LX.

Watch these special messages from our kids and staff. Go Pats!

Team Spotlight: Olivia Rovegno 💙

Olivia is running the Boston Marathon in loving memory of her Aunt Shannon—and in support of children and families navigating mental health challenges.

“When I was in high school, I experienced a huge loss when my Aunt Shannon passed away after her long and various struggles with mental health… Now, I have the incredible opportunity to give back in my Aunt Shannon's memory.”

Olivia’s run is a powerful tribute, fueled by love, remembrance, and hope.

Team Spotlight: Erin & Caleb Donnelly 💙

For Erin and Caleb Donnelly, running the Boston Marathon is deeply personal - and rooted in purpose.

“The biggest reason to run for me is the kids; treating these kids has always been a tremendous privilege, but just to know them and love them during their time here and beyond is the greatest honor,” shares Erin, a physical therapist at Franciscan Children's.

“Without the Fran (and other facilities like it), I don't see how these children and their families find hope. So, I wanted to run the Boston Marathon for the Fran's team to keep supporting that vision of hope,” adds Caleb.

Together, Erin and Caleb are running to uplift kids, families, and a community built on compassion and hope.
