Playing Games to Heal Local Kids

Did you know that you can help save a child's life by playing games?

I have partnered with Extra Life and the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at UC Davis to help raise funds for our local UC Davis Children's Hospital where thousands of children from 33 counties in California are treated each year, regardless of their family's ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and injuries from accidents to name just a few.

Here's how it works

• Extra Life is a fundraising and gaming marathon to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

• 100% of the donations go to my local children's hospital. TOGETHER we will make a difference for sick kids!

Your donation is tax-deductible and will make miracles happen for families who desperately need them. You can donate here to make a safe and easy online donation. Locally, UC Davis Children’s Hospital raised $91,763.40 in 2018. 

Helping is easy!

This leads to a condition called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). 20 - 60% of all premature babies report PDA, which can lead to infant illness and disease if not treated.
