The Missoula Marathon has gone virtual again this year but that doesn't change anything when it comes to fundraising for the children and teenagers in our community.
I have joined the Run4Kids team again to help raise money for our local Youth Homes. This organization provides physical and emotional support for for kids who have been taken from their homes for various reasons, including physical and sexual abuse, neglect, drug use, etc.
Growing up is hard for all kids but imagine trying to tackle adulthood without all of the skills that a healthy family provides. When you donate to Youth Homes, you help these kids develop the skills necessary to enter adulthood. They deserve everything your children deserve, but sadly they don't have families to provide that for them.
Not only will your donations help with basic physical and emotional needs....but maybe a few extras - a ski trip, a backpacking adventure, music lessons.
I hope you can help me help these kids realize that they matter and that the community is invested in their future.
Thank you in advance. Patti
