Meet the Kids

Derrick has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for osteosarcoma.

 Hannah was born more than 14 weeks early and weighing a little more than a pound and a half.
 
 When Isabelle's fetal heart rate dropped dangerously low, she was delivered by emergency Caesarean section and was born barely breathing.
 
 
 Mackenzie has had intractable seizures since she was 3 years old, so it was no surprise to her parents when she was still having an average of 20 seizures a month at age 8.

Children's Miracle Network

 
For 19 years, WTAJ-TV has teamed with Children’s Miracle Network at Geisinger to help make miracles happen for ill and injured children in our region.

Thanks to our generous viewers and Children’s Miracle Network supporters, more than $8 million has been raised locally for pediatric equipment, programs and services throughout northeastern and central Pennsylvania.

Each spring, we proudly bring you our 21-hour Celebration broadcast, where donors are recognized and viewers have the opportunity to meet “miracle kids” – kids from your communities who have battled through serious medical issues, often with incredible and astounding results.

This year marks Children's Miracle Network's 27th year in the region and the 18th year with WTAJ.  We hope you will tune in to the annual Celebration broadcast – hosted by your favorite WTAJ personalities on Saturday, June 5th and Sunday, June 6th, to learn more about this cause or visit Geisinger's website here.

Together, we can help make miracles happen every day.
