Please join me in raising funds for Children's Hospital Minnesota
In October, I’m going the extra mile by running the Twin Cities Marathon and raising money on behalf of Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.
There are a few things you may not know about Children’s. It’s one of the largest pediatric health systems in the country and the only system in Minnesota to provide care just to kids. Last year, Children’s treated more than 130,000 kids in the five-state region. As a nonprofit organization, Children’s relies on philanthropy. Nearly everything at Children’s is impacted by generosity, from its live in-house television programming Star Studio, to Child Life, to the Ronald McDonald House, to its private rooms to cutting-edge technology and research.
Training for a marathon takes months and hundreds of miles. There will be days when I don’t want to lace up my shoes. There will be days when I prefer sleeping in over doing my long run. Then, I’ll remember why I’m doing this.
I’m running for kids. I’m running so they receive the best care. I’m running to support tomorrows. I’m running so no child is turned away, regardless of ability to pay.
I hope you will consider supporting me. Because when you help me, you ultimately help kids.
Thanks so much for your support,
Janet
