An MLB star is donating $1 million to a children’s hospital where his son was treated, ESPN reported.
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is making the donation to Orange, Calif.-based Children’s Hospital of Orange County, where his son, Maximus, spent a week in the pediatric ICU last year to recover from Guillain-Barré syndrome, according to the news outlet.
“Seeing every room full in the PICU each and every day impacted Chelsea and I deeply,” Mr. Freeman told ESPN. “Getting to know the doctors, nurses and care teams and seeing how they show up each day to bring healing and hope to kids and their families was inspiring. CHOC saved Maximus’ life.”
