First 5K
The annual run for Children’s was this last weekend and Noah ran his first 5K. And I mean he RAN it. Barely stopped, barely complained. The last half mile was incredibly hard for him but he pushed through and made it to the finish line.
It was so much fun. It’s fun every year and hopefully a lot of money was raised for uncompensated care. The fund pays for medical expenses not covered by insurance for families. It means that a child will be given the best care regardless of a family’s ability to pay. It’s amazing. I can’t describe the feeling of suddenly knowing that getting care for your child is possible. That you won’t lose your house, your car, that you won’t have to spend hours fundraising while your child is in the hospital. It’s like being able to breathe again.
There’s still time to contribute to the event so please consider donating (this is my once a year plea for donations).
