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.

Declan spent 18 days in the NICU after he was born. He got the absolute best care to ensure he was on the path to success and met all of his goals to be able to come home. The doctors, nurses and therapists all showed Declan and us incredible compassion and care throughout our stay. We felt great relief knowing he was being shown so much love and expert care 24/7. Declan grew big and strong before our eyes, all thanks to the NICU team at Children's.

Why am I doing this?

The short answer is that I want to do something that helps kids, and I can't think of a better organization to support than Children's Wisconsin.

The longer answer is that by running or 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!
