5TH ANNUAL MALIYAH'S HIKE
October 2024

OUR STORY

Maliyah Abigail Riches was born on July 8th, 2020. From minute one, the incredible team at Mount Sinai – NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) leaped into action as Maliyah began her road of unfortunate complications. After two weeks of round-the-clock intensive care from Mount Sinai’s NICU team, Maliyah was healthy and robust enough to come home.

Being #bornsickisntfair. We hike to help fund the life changing work done by the nurses, doctors, and admin team at Mount Sinai Hospital. They saved our family and will continue to save others who visit Mount Sinai’s NICU on the 17th floor.

THE HIKE

We will be hiking 110 km to represent how many days some babies and families can stay for in the NICU. Our goal is to raise $30,000. Funds raised will go towards supporting the purchase of new ultrasound machines in our Women & Infants Health Program. State-of-the-art imaging is critically important to this specialized care, enabling our specialists to closely monitor babies’ development – and to intervene with cutting-edge treatment when needed. By helping renew the hospital’s ultrasound fleet, we will enable Sinai Health to deliver life-saving care for thousands of pregnant patients and their babies each year.
