Kelly's marathon era (for Children's Minnesota)
From the reading room to the running route - it's Kelly's Marathon Era!
From the reading room to the running route - it's Kelly's Marathon Era!
Hi friends! I’m Kelly — pediatric radiologist turned marathon runner (well… aspiring finisher π ). This June, I’ll be running Grandma’s Marathon 2026 and dedicating every mile to the patients, families, and my prior colleagues at Children’s Minnesota.
During my years at Children’s, I witnessed firsthand the incredible care, compassion, and courage that make it such a special place. Now, I’m lacing up to give back — one mile (and one playlist loop of Taylor Swift) at a time.
Your donation will help Children’s Minnesota continue providing world-class care to kids and families when they need it most. Whether you give $5 or $50, every bit makes a difference — and keeps me motivated through all 26.2 miles!
So join me in my Marathon Era — because together, we can make every step count for Minnesota’s kids. π
