When I decided to commit to doing Grandma’s Marathon, it was full.  The only way to do it was to fundraise for a cause.  One of the fundraising options was Children’s Minnesota.  I took it as a sign.  Our family had a wild and scary summer last year with the premature birth of our first grandson.  He had excellent care and is doing great.  It really brought attention to the unexpected health struggles that so many children face through no fault of their own. Nothing can prepare a family to witness a child experience scary health situations.

To help in a very small way, I am fundraising for Children's Minnesota and running Grandma's Marathon in June of this year. Children’s Minnesota is a nonprofit health system, and is one of the largest pediatric systems in the country.   By donating, you are helping to ensure that a child and their family will receive exceptional care, and support when they need it most.  Your donation means every child gets care, regardless of their ability to pay.

Thank you for helping out!
