BronchoThon

Founded in 2016, BronchoThon engages the Broncho community in generating awareness and financial support for the Oklahoma Children's Hospital Foundation. Great!

What is Dance Marathon? Miracle Network Dance Marathon is a movement of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization that raises funds and awareness for more than 170 pediatric hospitals. They are the only children’s charity committed to having 100% of the funds raised stay local to support local kids. Since it's inception, Miracle Network Dance Marathon has raised more than $135 million for kids across North America- ensuring that no child or family fights pediatric illness or injury alone. Why was BronchoThon created? BronchoThon was created in 2016 to engage the Broncho community in generating awareness and financial support for the Oklahoma Children's Hospital Foundation. The CHF is the only non-profit organization in Oklahoma whose sole focus is the advancement of pediatric research and education programs to improve the health of children. Since their creation in 1983, Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised and leveraged matching funds to create more than $109 million for pediatric research and education programs. How does BronchoThon work? Throughout the academic year, students, faculty, and staff will participate in fundraising and awareness events. The finale event, BronchoThon, will be held in April. The 8-hour marathon will include musical entertainment, student-led activities, refreshments, and a heavy dose of *FUN*. We look forward to beginning a great tradition here at Central! Want to get get involved? We're excited to add you to the movement. Students can join our "Big Committee", which allows students to serve on a number of committees responsible for making BronchoThon a reality. Committees cover a wide range of responsibilities, from fundraising to entertainment to recruiting dancer. Click HERE to submit an interest form. We also encourage students, faculty, staff, and community members to take part in our fundraising efforts! Visit our Registration Page to register as a dancer, create a fundraising portal, or make a donation. When registering, you will be asked to submit a nonrefundable $25 fee.

✨Happy Miracle Monday✨

Meet Mattie and Jeremiah Hurley, two of BronchoThon’s Miracle Children!

Mattie was diagnosed before birth with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), a condition with only a 50% survival rate. Born with an extremely severe case—the largest her surgeon had seen—Mattie had less than 10% of her left diaphragm, allowing her abdominal organs to develop in her chest, limiting her lung development and shifting her heart. She was given just a 10% chance to survive. Mattie spent 12 weeks in the NICU on ECMO and underwent multiple surgeries. At age 3, she was diagnosed with progressive scoliosis caused by repeated thoracic surgeries and a third hernia. She wore a back brace nearly 23 hours a day from ages 3–11. At 7, Mattie was diagnosed with bronchiectasis, with her lungs functioning at only 40% capacity, requiring daily airway clearance treatments.

Due to the complexity of her condition, she underwent her third diaphragmatic repair. She had full spinal fusion surgery with permanent titanium rods. This marked her 16th surgery. Today, Mattie continues physical therapy and faces recovery with determination.

Jeremiah’s mom was seen by a specialist throughout her pregnancy to ensure he was healthy and didn’t have the same birth defect as his big sister, Mattie. All was going well and the baby was healthy besides Jeremiah’s mom being diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

At Jeremiah’s birth, his blood sugar was extremely low, registering at only 29. He immediately began having trouble breathing on his own and needed to be flown to a NICU that was equipped to put him on a ventilator. Upon arriving at Children’s, it was determined that Jeremiah’s journey would be different from his sisters. Jeremiah was in respiratory distress due to maternal gestational diabetes. Because of gestational diabetes, his lungs weren’t quite ready to work on their own. While in the NICU, he was on a ventilator, had a feeding tube, and for a short time had a chest tube placed. Once he was able to come off the ventilator and start eating on his own, Jeremiah was able to go home at 2 weeks old. Jeremiah is now perfectly healthy and has no ongoing medical needs.

Meet Veronica and Vivianne Stowell, two of BronchoThon’s Miracle Children!

Veronica and Vivianne Stowell were born at 26 weeks and two days after their mother was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome at 15 weeks. They were born via emergency C-Section after noticing that the twins’ heartbeats were irregular. When they were born, they had numerous issues to overcome. They overcame eye disease, respiratory issues, and brain bleeds in their first months of life. Veronica had her 1st surgery at only 2 weeks old. She then had surgery to place the feeding tube at 3 months old, after being diagnosed with failure to thrive. She continued to use a feeding tube during her time in the NICU. Veronica was in the NICU for 134 days, while Vivianne’s stay lasted for 95 days. Veronica attends speech & occupational therapy. Veronica was diagnosed with Congenital Growth Delay at 6 years old & now takes daily growth hormone shots. Veronica was diagnosed with Tourette’s at 10 years old & her condition is monitored closely by her neurologist.
They both enjoy attending Girl Scouts, playing with friends, playing Minecraft with daddy, & playing the drums. Veronica loves to sing around the house, play Roblox with friends, ride her hoverboard, & play with her puppies, Benny & Gypsy. Vivianne loves to ride her bike & hoverboard, do all sorts of arts & crafts, play games, & watch movies with her mom.
