My Personal Motivation
Running has given me so much in my short lifetime, I thought it was time to give back to a cause very dear to my heart by partnering with Children's Cancer Center of Iowa as I run the IMT Des Moines Marathon. I remember the day I told my grandpa Pap that I was going to run a full marathon, he smiled big. On August 15th, 2021 Pap passed away from his two-year battle with lung cancer. This race will not only be dedicated to Pap, but to all the children out there battling such a heartbreaking disease. I thank you in advance for any donation, prayer, or encouragement you choose to give!
"Together we fight"
Support Team CCC!
Join Children's Cancer Connection's running team, Team CCC in support of hundreds of families affected by childhood cancer throughout the state of Iowa. Children's Cancer Connection provides families an opportunity to connect through hospital- and clinic-based programs, support programs and outings, and camp. These events are provided at next-to-no cost to families because of generous donors, volunteers, and community partners.
Help support some of the most deserving families in the state of Iowa through Team CCC! Runners will run races all across the country in 2020/2021, but will do so in memory and honor of our Children's Cancer Connection families.
