Greetings Friends and Family,

On June 22, I'll be running 13.1 miles as a charity athlete for Children's Minnesota, alongside a group of amazing people I get to work with here at Marvin. 

As a charity athlete, I've made the commitment to raise $750, and kindly ask for your support.  Every dollar raised goes directly to Children's. Your contributions help cover the costs for families who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford care for their children, as well as support groundbreaking clinical programs specifically designed especially for kids, train the next generation of pediatricians and other pediatric health professionals, pay for important care programs that are not covered by insurance, such as child life, music therapy and social work, research new health care ideas that save lives and make the children in our care more comfortable, provide translators for non-English speaking families, fund initiatives that keep kids throughout our community healthy and safe, and more!

If you are unable to make a monetary donation, that's ok!  I would love any words of encouragement, positive vibes, and prayers as I take on 13.1 miles in Duluth.

Please join me in supporting the most amazing people on earth - children! 

Learn more about Children's Minnesota below.  

Happy Trails,

Betsy

About Children’s Minnesota

At Children’s Minnesota, we get to see amazing every day. The fighting spirit of a 24-week-old preemie. The resilient five-year-old learning to walk again. And the sense of pure optimism we see in every child. We believe children are the most amazing people on earth—and that drives us to do everything we can to live up to the privilege of caring for them.

Children’s Minnesota is:

• One of the largest freestanding pediatric health systems in the United States—with two hospitals, 12 primary care clinics and six rehabilitation and nine specialty care sites.
• The only health system and Level I Trauma Center in Minnesota to provide care exclusively to children from before birth through young adulthood.
• The first and only hospital system in Minnesota and the thirteenth center in the nation to be verified as a Level I Children’s Surgery Center by the American College of Surgeons.
• An award-winning health system, regularly ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top children’s hospital.
• An independent and not-for-profit system (since 1924).
