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

Dear Family and Friends,

I am so excited and honored to participate as a Children's Champion in partnership with the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon &1/2 Marathon. Our nephew was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and is currently receiving treatment at Nationwide.  He’s undergoing chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, and we are so grateful for the care and support he is receiving.  So, we are running for him and all the children like him fighting difficult battles.

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 program is $500. 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.
