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.

Good news!

As of last week, Eddie has been returned to the double lung transplant list, now that his infection is under control!

He is the ultimate Comeback Kid!

And we have just 7 days left to our July Comeback Kid Giveaway. Donate in this last week of the month; one donor will receive a big gift of thanks from us--tickets and a batting practice tour at an upcoming Red Sox v. Yankees game!

Thank you as always for your support of Eddie's Fund, and your care for Eddie.

Eddie's Fund Comeback Kid Giveaway

Dear Friends of Eddie's Fund:

We're so happy to invite you to participate in our 2-week Eddie's Fund Comeback Kid Giveaway.

Here's how it works: for every $10 you donate between now and July 31, you will have an opportunity to receive an amazing thank-you gift from Boston's favorite comeback team...the Boston Red Sox.

We have just one thank you gift to give away and it includes:

2 tickets to the Boston Red Sox versus New York Yankees game on Sunday, August 18th at 4:05 p.m.

A one of a kind Fenway batting practice tour
which (weather permitting) begins 2-1/2 hours before the first pitch. The tour includes: a special view of batting practice from the warning track, plenty of up-close photo ops during batting practice (bring your cameras!), a special tour of Fenway from a Fenway Ambassador (possible Green Monster and Right Field Roof viewing)...and much more!


We're really grateful to a friend of Eddie's Fund for donating this amazing thank you gift...and we'd LOVE for you to be the one to whom we give it.

So for every $10 donation you make from now through July 31st, you'll receive one (1) entry...donate $20 and you get 2 entries, $50 will get you you 5 entries, $100 10 entries, $1000 100 entries, and so on. Please use the "Donate" Pay Pal button in the right sidebar of the Fund's website; PayPal gives us word of your donation and your email address, which we'll use to contact our well-thanked donor on August 1st. (Please note that we use a third-party website which randomizes and selects our winner for us to ensure fairness).

Share the news with your family and friends! Let's cheer Eddie on and let him know that we are rooting for him to be Boston's Comeback Kid this summer! A lung transplant for him would be a true home run, and we appreciate all you're doing to be a part of Eddie's ever-growing fan club.

With thanks,
Melissa for Eddie's Fund
