This organization is named on behalf of Avery Harris, who was born with Microvillus Inclusion Disease. Both Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh have been instrumental in his care. This charity gives back and raises money through fundraising events. All money raised goes to families with children, like Avery, whose insurance does not come close to covering all of the expenses associated with rare GI diseases and find themselves at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and/or Pittsburgh.
