The Sacred Heart Academy field hockey team joined senior teammate Erin Hillis at Brooksvale Park for the Farmington Canal Trail 5K Walk-A-Thon in the fight against pediatric functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders. Erin and her family are dedicated to raising funds to support the DHA Children's GI Research Network, the only nationwide network dedicated to improving the diagnosis and treatment of FGIMDs that emerge during childhood. According to Meghan Buckley, senior co-captain of the team, "As a team, we were thrilled to help out such a dear friend and teammate and support such a worthwhile cause."
