umassmemorial child life services

when our three-year-old maddy got sick in the summer of 1996, our family became forever involved with the child life service at umass memorial. we were first-hand witnesses to the love, support, generosity and care that those involved with this project give to every member of the families of these little patients.

almost ten years later, we continue to be grateful to them. it was through our personal involvement with this project that we were inspired to do what we could to support them and show our gratitude.

the richardson family works closely with child life services and collaboratively decides what to buy each year. in the summer of 2004, we held our first duck race in the stream behind the grist mill at the wayside inn. so, again we are asking for your help and support. each year, your generosity and enthusiasm for this cause overwhelms us.
