Hi!

My name is Chris Ingram and I am honored to run the Charlotte Marathon as a Charity Chaser for the first time this year! At the race on November 14th, I (and two other chasers including my lovely wife, Jocelyn) will be the last runners to cross the starting line. We will attempt to pass as many people as possible while running through the scenic streets of the Queen City and raising awareness for Hemby Children's Hospital.

For the past two years, I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself. Jocelyn has been a Charity Chaser, and I've been along for the ride - helping with fundraising, cheering her on race day, running alongside her, and supporting her mission to help the children and families at Hemby Children's Hospital.

The real turning point came last year when I attended the pre-race events and toured Hemby Children's Hospital myself. Walking through those doors and seeing the amazing kids receiving care there -witnessing their resilience, their hope, and the incredible work of the doctors and nurses supporting them - changed everything for me. I saw firsthand where every dollar goes and the real difference it makes in the lives of children and families across our region.

This year, I'm running the full marathon as a Charity Chaser in support of Hemby Children's Hospital and I'm asking for your help to make an even bigger difference. Any donation, no matter the size, will directly support the incredible care and services Hemby provides.

You can donate on this page (button below) or even pledge an amount per person that I pass during the marathon. If you are interested in making a pledge, have any questions, or own a business and are interested in helping with a joint fundraiser, please email me at cbingram@gmail.com.

Thank you for any support!!

With gratitude,
Chris
