Dear Friends,

I hope you will consider supporting my participation in the Keeping the Beat for Hopkins Kids team! At this year's Baltimore Running Festival I will run the half marathon distance to raise money for kids receiving care in the Pediatric Cardiology Department of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

I'm proud that my wife, Melanie, is part of an amazing department that provides comprehensive and compassionate care to patients day in and day out! An amazing team of cardiologists, cardiology fellows, echo techs, cardiology nurse practitioners, clinic nurses, administrative assistants, cath lab team members, clinic medical assistants, clinic operations managers, as well as ICU and anesthesia colleagues, all working in concert to deliver world-class care to kids from around the city, state, nation, and globe.

To get off the starting line fast, Melanie and I will match any gifts 1:1 / dollar for dollar that are made before Saturday, October 12, using the link on this page. So, please consider doubling the impact of your gift by giving before that date!

(We will make that matching gift on Saturday morning so don't expect to see any note of it at the time you make your own payment. We will submit a gift that morning (Saturday October 12) equivalent to whatever the balance of gifts is at the end of the day prior.

We appreciate your generosity.

This cause is very dear to me, and I'll appreciate all the support I can get!
Together we can make a difference!


Best - Kevin, Melanie, Dominic, and Daniel
