Saucony teamed up with Jay, a Boston Children’s Hospital patient to create limited-edition sneakers. At 2, Jay came to Boston Children’s to find lifesaving answers. He beat an aggressive form of cancer that is rare in children. Now 9, ongoing care keeps him healthy as he enjoys playing soccer and basketball. Jay’s bold spirit and favorite colors inspired the Saucony designers to create this dynamic design. Purchases support Boston Children’s Cardiac Fitness Program. 💙 ✨

A wonderful celebration for a wonderful hospital. Spent a lot of time there in my teens and always love and respect the work they do!
Amazing event!
Adrian (little man in the wheelchair) had such a blast! Thanks for having him! It was a great event.
This is amazing! What a great night for everyone involved! So important to be raising money for this incredible hospital so that they can continue to innovate and save lives!❤️
This is awesome, I was apart of going to a bruins game with my neurosurgeon, Dr. Proctor, along with many other people and it was very memorable I was able to meet most of the hockey team.
I always enjoy what you share here on Facebook but we're not friends yet, I have tried several times to send the friend request but it's not going through. Do you mind trying from your side? I will be happy to be friends with you. If you find this message embarrassing please pardon my manners.Thank you

The history of cystic fibrosis diagnosis
In 1955, Dr. Harry Shwachman, head of Boston Children’s Cystic Fibrosis Clinic, developed the first practical sweat test to diagnose cystic fibrosis (CF). It involved encasing the patient’s body in a plastic bag to collect sweat, then using the pictured device to measure levels of salt in the sample. Cystic fibrosis causes sweat to be 2-5 times saltier than average. The sweat test allowed for much simpler and earlier diagnosis of CF, crucial to effective treatment. A version of it is still the main diagnostic tool used today.
