Meghan’s Light 65 Wellness Wishes grants 65 health-focused awards for wellness memberships and activities to Cystic Fibrosis patients treated at Boston Children’s Hospital and Baystate Medical Center. The target number 65 references sixty-five roses a term used since 1965 by young children with cystic fibrosis trying to pronounce the name of their disease.  The project honors Meghan’s lifelong passion for fitness.

Meghan's Light benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Discovery Fund supporting Pulmonary and Respiratory Disease research at Boston Children's and the Extraordinary Needs Fund supporting patient care, staff education, new technologies and treatments and other initiatives as needed in the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at Boston Children's.
