Dear friends and family,

I am reaching out to you today to ask for your support in donating to Nationwide Children's Hospital, as I participate in their upcoming half marathon. This cause is very dear to my heart as my son, Cash, just underwent a life-changing procedure called SDR in the neurology department with Dr. Leonard, for his Left Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy. Our experience with Nationwide Children's Hospital was wonderful, and we are forever grateful for the care and attention they provided to our family.

However, we are also aware that the financial burden for many families with children with CP can greatly affect their ability to provide the best care and options for their child. Therefore, I am asking for your help in donating to the Neurology department at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Your donation will go directly to the department that went above and beyond for Cash, and will help many other families in similar situations.

My donation team goal is to raise $2,500. We will be participating in the half marathon on Oct 19th 2024.  Every little bit helps, and any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children with Cerebral Palsy and their families. Thank you for your generosity and support.

Sincerely,

Kara Boesenberg
