Hello! Thank you so much for coming to my Briggs & Al's Run & Walk page. This event and the mission it supports mean a lot to me and I am thrilled you took the time to stop by. Thank you.
Why am I doing this?
My nephew Jace was born with a congenital heart defect and had open heart surgery at CHW when he was 2 months old, and will be 11 this year. My niece Joey was born at CHW and lived 6 hours, and would be 8 years old. My son Jaden was also born with a congenital heart defect and is a current patient at CHW and goes every 2 years for a check up.
CHW has been there for my family in many ways, which makes this very near and dear to my heart. This will be my 10th year walking. I did not do fundraising last year due to Covid and the event being virtual. It will be virtual again this year but I decided to fundraise again. I am very behind on this also this year, but would love to reach my goal if not even surpass it. So any amount will be greatly appreciated.
I want to give back, this helps the kids, families, and is such a great organization to support...... Children’s Wisconsin.
By walking in this event for Children's, I know I am raising funds that support the care provided to kids, from life-saving cancer and heart treatments all the way to life-changing community care. Every day, Children’s is working to make Wisconsin kids the healthiest in the nation and my support and fundraising is critical to this work.
Community investment in Wisconsin’s kids has afforded many of Children’s amazing accomplishments and has helped to pave the way for an exciting future. Here is a snapshot of what community support has enabled:
Translational research that improves patient care and outcomes and continues to move toward cellular therapies that will eventually prevent disease
Countless programs and services that support families and are not reimbursed by Medicaid or other insurance
Sustained extraordinary care in our heart program, leading the country with a nationally ranked, outcomes-based program
I can make a real difference for an organization making a real difference for kids. If you have it in your heart to help, please donate now.
Thank you!
