Brooke Mulford Cuts the Ribbon on ‘Brooke’s Toy Closet’ at Peninsula Regional

Brooke Mulford was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer, in 2009, when she was just four years old. Since then, she has endured many hospitalizations and treatments ─ and she has also received thousands of well-wishes, thrown out the first pitch at a Red Sox game, met celebrities and dazzled everyone she meets with her positive attitude and smile.

No one understands what it’s like being a kid in the hospital better than Brooke. That’s why she and her friends at Salisbury Christian School decided that helping other children in the hospital would be a great idea.

On August 26, 2014, Brooke and her classmates came to Peninsula Regional Medical Center to unveil “Brooke’s Toy Closet,” a special cabinet filled with toys, coloring books and other goodies that PRMC’s Emergency Department and Pediatrics Unit can give to children who are hospitalized. The recipients of these gifts will be able to use them when they’re in the hospital, and take them home to enjoy when they are feeling better.
