2018 Akron Marathon Children's Champions

Thank you for visiting my Children's Champion page where I'm tracking my fundraising and training for the FirstEnergy Akron Marathon. When I first ran to support Akron Children's Hospital, I didn't have a lot of experience with them. In the last couple years my family has spent a lot of time there for our daughter. I am more impressed by them now than ever before.
Just recently friends of ours were in a car accident in one of the rural communities around Akron. The hospital they went to was able to treat most of the family, but after looking at one of the children's injuries the doctors immediately sent him to Children's hospital to get him the specialized care he needed. What a blessing to have such a great resource in our community!
While Children's is ranked among the best children's hospitals in the country, it's their compassionate approach to treatment that makes them truly exceptional. Through a combination of revolutionary treatments and extraordinary patient experience, their care does more than heal. It brings the entire family together for the emotional support and understanding across multiple locations to reach families in the communities where they live.
Thank you for your support of Akron Children's mission and dedication to improving the health of the children in our community.
I’m fundraising as part of the FirstEnergy Akron Marathon, Half Marathon and Team Relay. Funds raised through my online fundraising page will assist patients and their families at Akron Children’s Hospital.
