Christian McCaffrey, the dynamic running back for the San Francisco 49ers, recently visited Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, bringing cheer and smiles to our young patients.
With a heart as big as his talent, McCaffrey spent quality time with the young patients, offering not only gifts and hugs, but also creating cherished memories.
“The moment he walked through the hospital doors, the atmosphere became electric with excitement and joy,” said Elizabeth Valente, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health spokesperson. “McCaffrey’s presence illuminated the faces of these brave young fighters, allowing them to momentarily escape the struggles of their medical challenges and experience the magic of the holidays.”
Through the Christian McCaffery Foundation and the Logan Project, McCaffrey provides gaming kiosks to children undergoing medical treatment as a way restore a sense of normalcy during their stay in the hospital.
“I created the Logan Project so that kids who are in the hospital would still have an opportunity to engage with others and do the things they love to do,” McCaffrey, said. “My Foundation has been so happy to partner with Stanford Medicine Children’s Health and put some of our systems here at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital for the patients.”
In addition to handing out thoughtfully chosen gifts, McCaffrey took the time to engage in personal conversations, ensuring each child felt special. He posed for photos, ensuring that these special moments will be remembered and shared for years to come.
