I’m a parent and relatively new to this, so I’d be interested to hear what other parents/students say as well. But IMO, if I think a lot of places will be hesitant to have someone who is under the age of 16. I would think about various college summer programs that would give you some actual experience in a lab (U Chicago has one), so you would be more desirable candidate for the following year. My D is a rising senior and has a good internship this summer, which she got through her science teacher, who used to teach at the college level. I also know that some teaching hospitals allow HS students to shadow, and often have a specific program in place for that so it’s perfectly acceptable to send out the kind of email you’re talking about. Good luck!
