Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, are donating $1 million to the Children's Hospital of Orange County, where their son, Maximus, recovered after a severe case of Guillain-Barré syndrome last year left him in the pediatric intensive-care unit for more than a week last year.
Freeman told ESPN: “Seeing every room full in the PICU each and every day impacted Chelsea and I deeply. 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.”
