Royal Oak Family in Walk for Miracles

Royal Oak residents Kelly and Stephen Wadle, along their children Belle and twins Aurora and Parker, are gathering family and friends to join them at the Walk for Miracles on June 16. This will be the first time that the family has participated in this fundraising event for Beaumont Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

Aurora, four years of age, and her family, have benefitted from the programs of the Children’s Miracle Network at Beaumont Children’s. Specifically, Child Life Services has made her visits for cancer treatments and exams less stressful.

When asked why their family is participating in the Walk, Kelly responds,

“The children and families in the hospital, need our support. They need to know that they are not alone. CMN provides funding for experts like Child Life Specialists, who make a world of difference in a child's life that is facing a scary medical issue.”

Aurora is this year’s Beaumont Children’s/CMN Walk Champion and will dressing up as a princess for the walk.
