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?

I have had the distinct honor of meeting Caroline ("Danny") through the Rare Compassion Project. During my time in this program, I have gotten to know Dany and her family well. Danny is an amazing, light-hearted, and spirited little girl whose strength continues to inspire me every time we meet. Danny has received care at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for many years now as she is medically complex, with a likely undiagnosed genetic component, that makes her care more complicated.

In her own words:

"I adore dinosaurs! I also like Orcas and playing with my sisters. I got lots of medical stuff going on like dysautonomia and chronic fatigue. I have a feeding tube to help me with food and a port for infusions. Mommy accesses me then I get infusions. Children's Hospital of Wisconsin helps my body and helps me not feel icky and the money can help kids like me so they can start to feel better."

She and thousands of other children like her are why I am working so hard to raise funds for the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. 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.

We 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!
