Six-Year-Old Worcester Girl with Rare Chromosomal Disorder Throws Out First Pitch at Fenway Park

Liza Rosenblum "takes the field" as part of the
"CVS Caremark Saves" and "Extra Inning" Charitable Programs in
conjunction with the Boston Red Sox

Woonsocket, R.I. (September 24, 2008) - Six-year-old Worcester resident
and Boston Red Sox fan Liza Rosenblum, a Children's Hospital Boston
patient with a rare chromosomal disorder called 14Q Translocation,
joined CVS Caremark today in throwing out the first pitch at the Boston
Red Sox game against the Cleveland Indians at Fenway Park.

Liza also assisted CVS Caremark in presenting a check for $27,500 to
Children's Hospital Boston as part of the "CVS Caremark Saves" and
"Extra Inning" charitable initiatives, which fall under the "CVS
Caremark All Kids Can" program. The check is the culmination of
donations made by CVS Caremark for each of the 45 Red Sox games saved
and each of the 10 games that went into extra innings this season.

The monies raised will specifically benefit the Functional Mobility
Clinic at Children's Hospital Boston, which supports the enhancement of
the functional capabilities of severely disabled children. CVS Caremark
has aligned itself with the hospital's clinic because its mission
synchs up with the goal of the "CVS Caremark All Kids Can" program,
which is to support children with disabilities learn, play and succeed
in life.

The 14Q Translocation that Liza is afflicted with occurred when one of
her chromosomes shifted and attached itself incorrectly to another
chromosome. The disorder led to a series of challenges for Liza,
including her birth with just one hip socket and a dislocated hip, and
difficulty eating. As a result, Liza spent the first months of her life
on a ventilator and feeding tube at Children's Hospital Boston and
underwent surgery to open up a direct airway through her trachea. She
spent the first three years of her life with a tracheotomy, the first
four years of her life dependent on a gastric feeding tube, and also
underwent three hip surgeries and one spine surgery to correct a
tethered spinal cord. She recovered while spending time with her father
watching Red Sox games on television. David Ortiz quickly became her
favorite Red Sox player. Since her surgeries, Liza has learned to walk
unassisted. She leads a challenged but independent life as a
kindergartner attending Flagg Street School in Worcester.

CVS Caremark All Kids CanTM, a program of the CVS Caremark Charitable
Trust and supported by CVS Caremark, is a 5-year, $25 million
commitment to making life easier for children with disabilities.
Through this signature program, CVS Caremark and the Trust will support
nonprofit organizations that provide innovative programs and services
in local communities focused on helping children with disabilities
learn, play and succeed in life.
