Read My Hallam Story

"I am excited to nominate and create our Hallam Posse for The Big Change Roundup for Kids which supports vital programs and services at the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital. I have known the hospital’s mascot, Monty the Moose, and by association, Dr. Lewis First , for about 20 years. Dr. First is the longest serving Chair of Pediatrics in the Country. Together with their extraordinary team, they make big change for kid’s health at the only full-service children’s hospital in the North Country. The UVM Children’s Hospital delivers world-class care to children and their families. I’m sure that these 25,000 dimes will help to support the important work to “Always be First with your kids."
