One step at a time, I’ve tapped, walked, and yoga’d my way through 9 miles so far and I’m having fun being part of something big and getting more active than I’ve been in a while.
There was one day I had to choose between walking outside in the rain and inside on the treadmill (but without air conditioning). I got drenched but it was a sensory joy.
Most days have been treadmill days. The days I have walked outside have been glorious and I hope to be doing that much more once it cools off here.
The Miracle Marathon is a 27-day virtual fundraising campaign to get active while helping kids get well. It’s been fun getting the daily emails with challenges, inspiring stories, and motivational messages. Read my informational post here if you missed it.
So far, I have raised $63 for kids at Texas Children’s Hospital. Even better, my team has raised over $3000!
The challenge is to raise $10/day for kids in your community to receive lifesaving medical care. That’s $272. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals across North America, which, in turn, use the money where it’s needed the most. When a donation is given it stays in the community, helping local kids. I’d jump up and down if you would visit my fundraising page and help me get to that goal. (Plus I get a super awesome tshirt to remember my accomplishment.)
Here’s the best part, in my opinion. Houston holds the #1 position with the most people registered (580). I’m so proud of us! BUT… we are not #1 in terms of funds raised ($18,000). I’d sort of like to beat out Oakland, CA for that spot ($30,000).
I’d love to invite you to donate to the cause. Thank you for your support! You know what they say… slow and steady wins the race.
