Molly had come up with a host of reasons why enduring a 4-hour (or more), 26.2 mile race was not for her.

Then, in late March 2015, she read an emotional story about a 5 year-old battling cancer at Children's.  The day after reading that child's story, Molly saw another post on social media about the impact charity runners can make for Children's at this year's Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. 

Moved and inspired to contribute, Molly realized how miniscule running and training for a marathon is compared to the battle Children's patients and their families face each day with much grace and strength.

Molly is grateful for any monetary donation you are able to contribute to Children's via this page.  Please also consider volunteering at this amazing organization, which touches so many lives.

(Did you know?  Children’s of Minnesota treats more than two-thirds of all children with cancer in Minnesota and produces survival outcomes that are consistently superior to national averages.)
