Three of our #peopleofchildrens rockstars are currently competing to win $50,000 for pediatric cancer research at Children’s National! Daryl, Melissa and Michael must continuously touch the vehicle for 50 hours for a chance to win the grant AND the keys to the new car. They are trying to outlast three contestants from @georgetownlombardi in the #handsonhope contest with @hyundaihopeonwheels. Let’s go Daryl, Melissa and Michael! 🙌🏼For Daryl, Children’s National runs in the family! He says his mom has been a nurse here for as long as he can remember. As an anesthesiologist assistant, he works to keep patients safe during their procedures. “I’ve met many oncology kids over the two years I’ve been at Children’s National and I’m super honored to have the opportunity to get grant money for pediatric cancer research.”🙌🏼Melissa works as a parent navigator, educating, supporting and empowering families to be strong partners with providers in advocating for their child. “I enjoy working at Children’s National, because it gives me the chance to be the voice for parents of children with special health care needs and I also have the opportunity to be involved in my community!”🙌🏼Michael works for the Children’s Research Institute in Grants and Contracts and loves opportunities to connect corporate partners with organizations in the community. “I first found out about Children’s National when I was in undergrad working as a liaison with @cmnhospitals and when I had the opportunity to join the team last year, I eagerly took it.”
