Phoenix Children's Hospital

I did it! I finally did it and because you are reading this blog this makes it real. I have made a commitment to raise $1,500 for the Phoenix Children's Hospital at the

Most of you know that I have been running for the last year or so and that I was going to run in last years race but it didn't work out.

This year, I wanted to run in the marathon but do it for a good cause. I've become painfully aware, over the past couple of months, of how self-centered I am. I want to run but not just for myself. I want to do this marathon for something or someone beyond myself.

At first, I was considering Breast Cancer and other major organizations, but they have a lot of people that run for them and do fundraising for them. After doing my research, I finally landed on raising money for the Phoenix Children's Hospital.

I have a heart for children and the thought of a child suffering breaks my heart and beyond that the burden that is placed onto the family, especially financially. Its hard enough to watch your child be suffer, much less, not being able to pay all of the medical bills.

While I may not know every child's story or may not be able to pay every bill, I can certainly volunteer my time and run for something that is worth running for. Joining the Phoenix Children's Hospital's Miracles in Motion team, means that I will actually get to meet the child that I will be raising money for on August 28th!!!
