Today we’re checking in with Aydan! ✨ When he was just 2, he came to our Brain Tumor Center to have a large craniopharyngioma removed. Now, this joyful kindergartner is thriving, whether he’s making people laugh or performing his first piano recital. After temporarily relocating from Florida for his care, he and his family are about to move back to Boston. “We can’t wait to be closer to Aydan’s Boston Children’s team again,” says his mom. 💙

In honor of Brain Tumor Awareness Month, we’re checking in with our friend Jenny, who we first met a few years ago when she underwent surgery for a glioma. This 7th grader has been busy! Along with reading, playing soccer, running cross country, and competing in middle school speech tournaments, she’s planning a two-week backpacking trip. 🤩👏

When our #MilesforMiracles team ran the Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America, they had special friends supporting them: our Patient Partners.💙
These Boston Children’s patients and families inspire every runner by sharing their medical journeys, cheering at training runs and celebrating along the course on race day. They remind our team who they’re running for—and why every mile matters.
To our Patient Partners: thank you for being the heart of our team. You are the reason we reached the finish line.🏅
