"With the help of so many partners, Children's Hospital has made so many kids' dreams come true. The scientific research done at Children's will help children all over the world. This fine institution is a proud part of Boston's rich history and I am pleased to be able to take part in the walk," Mayor Menino said.

Children's Hospital honored two patients, Rhiannnon Maher of Mashpee and Lauren Norton of Medway, as NSTAR Walk Child Ambassadors for their triumph in overcoming tremendous medical odds and commitment to inspiring others to participate in, and fundraise for, the Walk. Maher helped kick-off the 7-mile Walk while Norton led the 2-mile walk.

NSTAR, the electricity and natural gas company that serves over 1.4 million customers in Massachusetts, is the named sponsor of the walk. NSTAR is also lending expertise to promote and help increase participation in the Walk. More than 200 NSTAR employees from the NSTAR Walkers Team walked this weekend.
