ADDISON COUNTY — Four local students helped raise a collective sum of $117,530.29 for the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital through active participation in Rallython, UVM’s annual year-long student-led fundraiser and 12-hour dance marathon in support of Vermont’s local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Those students are Brittany Baker of Bridport, Patrick Gooley of Bristol, Mikayla Humiston of Middlebury and James Whitley of Weybridge. Baker, Gooley and Humiston raised between $100 and $249 toward the cause. Whitley raised more than $1,000.
During Rallython on Saturday, March 2, students heard stories from patient families treated at the UVM Children’s Hospital and engaged with champions — current and past patients of the hospital — while fundraising, participating in games, and dancing until the final reveal of their annual fundraising total.
