Hi, it’s Marissa! Thank you for visiting my Children's Champion page!
I have specifically set out to raise my funds for the Rehabilitation program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. From 2019 through the beginning of 2021, I worked in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic at NCH and it was the most incredible and rewarding job. I worked with a lot of children who had Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Spina Bifida, Brain Injuries, Spinal Cord Injuries, etc. where our goal was to help patients and their families manage these physical disabilities, maximize the patient’s independence in activities of daily living and improve their quality of life.
Did you know the purpose of the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & 1/2 Marathon is to raise funds to support life-saving research and care? Nationwide Children’s Hospital is committed to treating all children regardless of their family’s ability to pay, which cannot be achieved without community support and generosity. I am participating in the race for this mission and I am determined to help children from all 50 states and more than 60 countries treated at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Won’t you join me in helping kids everywhere?
Please consider supporting the most meaningful marathon in the country by making a donation today.
