Pete Gallagher of Wareham has a special place in his heart for Boston Children's Hospital and St. Jude's Hospital. His daughter, Jordyn, has been a patient at Boston Children's since her birth, five years ago. Pete has raised thousands of dollars for both hospitals through his annual Chili Cook-Off in Wareham. He also has run the last two Boston Marathons and will donate pledges in 2020 to the Boston Children's Hospital Miles for Miracles campaign.
