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.

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 $2000. 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.

My fierce & brave daughter, Madison, had SDR spinal surgery at Nationwide Children's this past December. Dr. Leonard & his team gave our daughter a brand new chapter for a better life that will hopefully be without pain. He made such an impact on our family that we want to give back to say thank you for being incredibly wonderful to Madison, our family, and every child that has passed through those doors.

We want every family to have this opportunity so I am running to raise money for the Cerebral Palsy Fund. For those that know Madison, you know how strong she is and she wants to fight for others just like her.

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.
