Following the 35th annual “Kids Helping Kids” Swim Marathon held last fall, our class of 2024 swimmers presented a check to Akron Children’s Hospital (ACH). The fundraiser, which was first launched to honor a former Firestone swimmer who was battling cancer, has provided more than $200,000 to ACH to support the Burn Unit, an adolescent patient room, an adolescent patient exercise room, the Center for Child Advocacy, arthroscopy equipment, Child Life Initiatives, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and a new inpatient rehabilitation center. A portion of this year’s marathon funds fulfilled the team’s five-year $25,000 pledge to assist in the renovations and creation of the new Rehabilitation Services outpatient sub-waiting room.
