The annual Stroll for Strong Kids Walk and 5K Run will be held on Saturday June 1st 2024.
Melina is a strong courageous girl who has been facing acute colonic pseudo obstruction now known as “ogilvie’s syndrome” since she was three years old. Melina is now 12 years old and has been in recovery since 2018. Today she still has frequent battles with pain and slow gut motility, however overall she is doing a lot better. From years of tube feeding, becoming TPN dependent and overcoming one of the most grim predictions of colonic motility today she is doing amazingly well. We credit her amazing recovery and success to the work of the teams here at Golisano Children’s Hospital.
Melina is honored to be one of Golisano's 2024 Miracle Children and has the opportunity to share her journey. Be on the lookout for her story in the upcoming May 2024 edition of Strong Kids!!
The stroll is one of the ways we look forward to giving back to this amazing healthcare community. We would love for you to come along with us in this amazing event of celebration.
