About Eddie's Fund

In 2006, our 10-year-old son had a bone marrow transplant. While recovering in isolation at home, he determined to do something to help a bone marrow transplant family we had met while in the hospital. Something to help his new friend, Eddie. We started Eddie's Fund that week, and seven years later, as Eddie continues his post-transplant recovery and waits for a double lung transplant, our family of five continues to raise funds for Eddie and his family. 100% of all donations to the Fund are paid directly to bill companies to help Eddie's family financially manage the intensity of Eddie's recovery. On behalf of Eddie and his family, we thank you for offering hope and help and joining with us to support our buddy, Eddie.

Help us fill Eddie's mailbox!

Dear Friends,

Eddie's 13th birthday is just 14 days away!

That's right, on March 14th, Eddie turns 13 and becomes a teenager.

We would love, love to fill Eddie's box with birthday cards! Will you help us?

Please email me for his home address if you don't already have it (we try to be as protective of Eddie's personal information as much as we can, so please don't share the address with folks you don't know very well)...gather your friends, your classmates at school, your colleagues...host a card-making party...make a trip to CVS...let's FILL Eddie's mailbox with happy birthday wishes.

Thanks for multiplying the celebration with us!
