Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & 1/2 Marathon, Jesse Owens 5K, 1 Mile & Kids Run

Dear Family and Friends,

Over 10 years ago, I signed up for my first Half Marathon as a fun way to celebrate my 40th birthday. Since then, I've met so many amazing people connected to Nationwide Hospital, Columbus Marathon and our fantastic running community. I am so excited to celebrate my 50th Birthday and honored to participate as a Children's Champion again in partnership with the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon &1/2 Marathon. A lot has happened over the past couple of years and the hospital and the patients they treat still need our support.

Now, more than ever, the dollars we raise are critical. So many of us are experiencing challenges like we have never faced in our lifetime and, as you can imagine, Nationwide Children’s Hospital is no exception. 

My personal fundraising goal for this year is $1000 in honor of 10 years of running. Any contribution you can make is greatly appreciated and will make a difference in the lives of children and families worldwide. Nationwide Children's Hospital is proud to treat patients from 50 states and over 60 countries.
