MaryAnne Reidy
MaryAnne Reidy – NM Coordinator for the Jared Box Project. Jared was a little boy in Pennsylvania that had an aggressive form of brain cancer. He always took toys with him to his treatment appointments. Sadly, he lost his battle to cancer, but his legacy lives on in the form of Jared Boxes.
A Jared Box is a plastic shoebox filled with small gifts, games, crayons, coloring books and other fun activities. These Boxes are given to children in the hospital to provide a special, fun diversion. The boxes calm nerves, lift spirits and show the children that someone cares. The boxes symbolize the importance of play and are filled with well wishes, hope and love.
