26 Miles with Meaning - Running to Support Neuroscience
I am running the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon on Saturday, October 5th to raise funds for the Neuroscience Program at Children's Minnesota. We have experienced firsthand the lifesaving care and extraordinary comfort provided by neurosurgeons, child life specialists, radiologists and countless others at Children's Minnesota.
Our family is forever grateful for almost a decade of care received at Children's. We believe in healthy futures and the power of community, where any child can receive first-class, lifesaving care, regardless of their story or situation. Your donation, of any size, will help children and their families as they face unimaginable neurological challenges. It provides healing, comfort and hope - at a time when they need it most.
Please give what you can. Share this page. Cheer on Team Superstars! Every step I take, is for them.
