Miracle Marathon: Why I Won’t Quit

Most of the parents and kids we’re helping would probably love a day off from cancer. They’d probably love to “just call it done” when it comes to the daily treatment regimens for Cystic Fibrosis. There are moms right now whose babies came into this world too early, who would love to give their tiny daughter a break from her fight to simply keep breathing.

But they can’t quit, because it’s not an option. I honor them today and everyday by not quitting on them. I came up with a couple of fresh asks that I can put on my social media accounts, and I’m redoubling my efforts as we head into the last stretch of Miracle Marathon.

Miracle Marathon: Beaumont Children's Hospital

I’m thrilled to share that I’m serving as a blogger for this Fall’s Miracle Marathon, specifically in support of Beaumont Children’s Hospital in Royal Oak, MI! Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals raise funds for 170 children’s hospitals across North America. When a donation is given it stays in the community, helping local kids. So great, right?

The Miracle Marathon is a 27-day virtual fundraising campaign in which participants run/walk (or achieve forward motion of any kind!) one mile per day at their leisure. The first 26 days are completed at your own pace—wherever and whenever you want. On Day 27, the final 1.2 miles will be started as a group at 2:27 pm EST. Get it? It’s a marathon, plus a mile, for the kids! And it’s perfect for those of us who like the idea of completing a marathon but would rather not complete all the miles at once!

Please join me and register to support Beaumont Children’s Hospital or another Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, and tell your friends too! And if you register as a Miracle Maker (you’ll receive fun swag!), you can use my special code BEAUMONT10OFF to get a 10% discount off registration.

Miracle Marathon 2014

I love running (and walking) to stay fit and stay moving. It's fun to do it knowing that I'm doing something great for my body - it's also great when I can do it to be a part of something great for others. Along with Children's Miracle Network, I am on a mission to get out, get moving and save kids' lives, and I need your help!

I have joined the Miracle Marathon journey, and throughout part of September and October I will not only be moving (running!) for 27.2 miles, but also raising funds for my Children's Miracle Network Hospital.

Please click here or at the bottom of this message and make a gift today. All donations are tax-deductible and collected securely by Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

Since a traditional marathon is 26.2 miles, Miracle Marathon adds a special touch by adding one more mile "for the kids." Over the course of 27 days, we are going to complete one mile per day by walking, running, dancing, skipping or just moving to reach that goal. It's a marathon - plus an extra mile - for the kids!

I sincerely hope you will donate to my Miracle Marathon journey.
