Jen Rubino
Jen Rubino (born 1994 or 1995) is the founder of the American charity Cards for Hospitalized Kids (or CFHK for short) which helps seriously ill children through handmade cards. Rubino's own experiences in the hospital inspired her to start CFHK.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jen-rubino/4-things-i-learned-from-l_b_1752806.html )〕 Rubino has shared her story and that of her charity, Cards for Hospitalized Kids, in publications around the USA and world.
==Background==
Rubino began gymnastics at age four, and quickly developed a love for the sport. She began competing at a young age, and dreamed of one day going to the Olympics. However, at age 11, doctors discovered that pain in her wrist originally thought to be from a sports injury was actually from a connective tissue and bone disease. She was forced to end her career in gymnastics, and began treatment for her condition. In the years following, Rubino underwent over 20 major surgeries, and was frequently in and out of the hospital, where she saw firsthand the struggles faced by hospitalized kids. In February 2011, Rubino was in the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital, recovering from a very difficult surgery. She was facing a very difficult time, and receiving a handmade card really brightened her day. This gave her the idea of starting her charity, which she started soon after.
Since inception, Rubino's charity has achieved nationwide impact and over 14,000 hospitalized kids in more than 150 hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses nationwide have received cards from them. Cards are delivered to hospitals monthly. Rubino has recruited many World and Olympic gymnasts such as Aly Raisman and Nastia Liukin as well as celebrities such as Lauren Conrad to get involved with her charity. Celebrity supporters help Rubino's efforts by donating autographs for hospitalized children to receive from her, and by helping spread the word on social media. Rubino is a resident of Illinois and attends Maine South High School.
