What’s the only thing better than watching a Thanksgiving Parade? Being in one! This Thanksgiving we had our own #PedsICU parade, big balloons & all! 🎈 Families/sibs joined the fun, & all patients & staff cheered them on❤️ #IllnessDoesntMeanStillness #icurehab #rehablegend

The Children’s Center had a spooktacular time reverse trick or treating with all of our kiddos today! A HUGE thank you to all of the groups that volunteered their time to help spread joy throughout the units (including our special robot guest). Have a safe and happy Halloween 🎃 #ForTheKids #Halloween #TrickOrTreat

From the starting line to the finish line, you showed us what community can do. 🏁 On Saturday, September 27, over 1,300 participants came together for the second annual Miracles in Motion 5K, raising $224,412 for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center! 💙 Because of you, kids facing serious illness have brighter tomorrows. Thank you for showing up, giving back, and making miracles possible for kids and families who need it most. ✨ 📸 See more pictures from the day at @marylandzoo: tinyurl.com/mr3bkeem #MiraclesInMotion #ForTheKids
