What's in Your Genes?

Hello Everyone,

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Lila's death.  Lila's death is what led me to running.  My first marathon in 2001 was the Columbus marathon.  I ran angry.  I ran slowly.  Running probably saved my life after Lila died.  Children's Hospital Hospice was amazing.  

On this 25th anniversary commemoration of Lila's death, I ask two things.  1.  Please make a donation.  The funds you donate will directly support the hospital's hospice program. 2.  Please talk to your MD, OBGYN, and/or genetic counselor about carrier screening.  In 1995 carrier screening was imprecise and a mistake enabled Lila to inherit a PREVENTABLE inheritable disease.  We watched Lila live a very short life full of suffering.  Carrier screening is incredibly more precise, inexpensive, and covered by most insurance companies.  

You don't want to watch your children suffer and die needlessly! Unfortunately children will still die from a variety of causes, so Children's Hospital Hospice will remain a critical service to many families.  I've spent 25 years trying to raise awareness of carrier screening, but this is only the 2nd time I'm using our story to help others through fundraising.

Please donate what you can.  Erika and I are starting off by donating $1,000.  My stated goal is $10,000, but wouldn't it be amazing if we could hit $25,000 - $1,000 for every years Lila's been gone.

Erika and I appreciate any support you can provide.  Every time I run through the Miracle Mile (the mile for children who've died) at the Marathon, I absolutely hate it.  Get screened so you never have to hate the Miracle Mile.

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.
