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. A lot has happened over the past couple of years, and the hospital and the patients they treat still need our support. Adaline, our granddaughter, has been a frequent visitor, and we all know the impact that Nationwide Children's Hospital has had on her.

Now, more than ever, the dollars we raise are critical.

My personal fundraising goal for this program is 10,000.00. 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.

Adaline was born at 26 weeks at 1lb and 9 oz. She has BPD and has struggled to breathe her whole little life, but because of NCH, we are now well on the way to seeing her come off the tracheostomy and live a normal and healthy life. Thank YOU for donating to NCH; every penny helps.

I am proud to be a part of the Children's Champions program, and I hope you will join me in my efforts to support life-saving pediatric research and care at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
