Thank you for visiting my Children's Champion page! The marathon may be cancelled this year (stupid COVID), but that just means it's more important than ever to raise money for this fantastic hospital! Since I can't run a marathon yet, I'm pledging to walk 26.2 miles throughout the month of October.

This year I'm again raising money for the Diabetes Program in memory of Chad. What will your money go to? The Diabetes Program at Nationwide Children's Hospital supports children and families with Type 1, Type 2 and other less common types of diabetes. Diabetes, particularly Type 1 diabetes, is a life-long diagnosis that affects not only the pancreas and blood glucose levels, but also other body systems such as the heart, nerves, eyes and kidneys. Nationwide Children's provides support and resources to help kids understand their diagnosis, helps parents and teachers develop plans to manage care, supports young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult care, and engages in research studies to develop better treatments. Your donation would support these programs and much more!

Thank you for your support!
