| Dear John, |
| Right now, you have an amazing opportunity to double the impact of your gift, up to $500,000, thanks to a challenge from Speedway. Your support will go twice as far for patients just like Phoenix. |
| At 4 months old, Phoenix went into heart failure. Doctors at his local hospital gave his parents a choice: begin end-of-life care or transfer him to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, home to the largest pediatric heart transplant program in Illinois. |
| “He was a congenital heart defect kid and a transplant kid,” says Tsedal. “People see him now, and they would never know.” |
| After 74 days in the hospital, his wait was over. Phoenix received the priceless gift of a new heart — and a second chance at life. |
| Stories like Phoenix’s aren’t possible without supporters like you. There’s never been a better time to make your first gift than right now. |
 |
| Make your first gift count for more. Give now while it goes twice as far! |
| |
| There are many more children, like Phoenix, who are at Lurie Children’s. They deserve the chance to reach their full potential. They need us. We need you. |
| Now more than ever, you can make a life-changing impact on the lives of children like Phoenix. |
| Thank you, |  | | Grant Stirling, PhD | President & Chief Development Officer
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago Foundation |
