Because Children's Hospital is pretty awesome!

(I should know, I work here.)

But why, you may ask, would I bother fundraising for the place I work at? Don't I already give enough by just working there?

I see the point you raise, however... they pay me to work here. I'm not giving anything.

My position at Children's does not include any direct patient interaction, but I know what kind of work goes on here. The kind of care our nurses and doctors provide, the kind of respect our staff gives to the families we serve, and the kind of dedication from everyone here to be champions for children.

If I didn't believe in what Children's does, I wouldn't be raising money for them.

So what better way for Children's to help you raise healthier children than by getting healthier myself? I've never been a very active person, and I've decided it's time to change. My goal is to run (yes, RUN) the Twin Cities 5K with Children's Team Superstars. And when I say run... I mean it. I want to run the whole thing. Doesn't matter the speed, just running.

Because if I can run an entire 5K when before I couldn't even run 2 minutes, what can't I do?

And more importantly, if Children's is doing good work now, what couldn't they do after getting your donation?

If you've got a couple dollars (or more!) to spare for Children's Hospital and Clinics, I'd be honored if you donated through my page. They are already doing great things, and with your help they can do even more.
