Hi! welcome to my personal fundraising page! My name is Allie Jentges. I'm a 'retired' college Cross Country and Track & Field athlete. After taking a few months for my body to recover I am itching to get back into racing for fun! This fall, I will be running the Mankato Marathon 10k on Saturday October 19th. I am so ecstatic about having this opportunity to support Children's!
My Children's Story
When I was two years old I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation type I. I was in and out of the ICU at Children's Minneapolis until I was five years old. It took three brain surgeries, countless MRIs, CAT scans, IVs, and blood draws. Thanks to the amazing staff at Children's I have been blessed with the opportunity to live a long happy and healthy life. It has always been important to me to try and support support children's in any way I can.
Supporters on and off the course!
Thank you to everyone who supported my efforts for Children's on and off the the trails. I completed the 10k a part of the Mankato Marathon race series matching my time from almost two years ago despite training for shorter distances and many injuries. Especially thank you to those of you who have not only supported my fundraiser through a donation but have ran and raced along side me as well.
