Support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in the Miracle Marathon
I’m thrilled to share that I’m serving as a lead blogger for this fall’s Miracle Marathon, specifically in support of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in! Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals raise funds for 170 children’s hospitals across North America. When a donation is given it stays in the community, helping local kids. How great is that?
WHAT IS MIRACLE MARATHON?
The Miracle Marathon is a 27-day virtual fundraising campaign in which participants run/walk (or achieve forward motion of any kind!) one mile per day at their leisure. The first 26 days are completed at your own pace—wherever and whenever you want. On Day 27, the final 1.2 miles will be started as a group at 2:27 pm EST.
Get it? It’s a marathon, plus a mile, for the kids! And it’s perfect for those of us who like the idea of completing a marathon but would rather not complete all the miles at once!
Please join me and register to support my team supporting Children's Healthcare of Atlanta or another Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Tell your friends too! 
WHY CHOOSE MIRACLE MARATHON?
See that picture above? That is my daughter, Laurel who was born with a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot. She had open heart surgery at just four months old. My world stopped for almost five months as we nursed our daughter through and following the surgery.
The people at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta helped us get through one of the most trying times in our lives. We spent three weeks with our daughter in the hospital and they were amazing. The nurses reminded me to leave the room and that our child was ok. They took care of our entire family along with our little girl.
I try to give back to Children's whenever I can and that is why I am excited to be a part of The Miracle Marathon!

Children’s Hospitals are one of the things I try and always support. Those kiddos need all the help they can get.

What an inspiration you and your daughter are. And this is such a worthy cause. I love supporting children’s hospitals. Those doctors and nurses are saints.
Good for you, I fully support this! My oldest had heart surgery at 18 months and stayed at a hospital partner of the childrens miracle network. I cannot love them enough – for all that they did for her and us!
That is just horrible you had to go through that with your daughter. I am from Atlanta, so I know how wonderful this organization is.
So sad! Makes me so thankful I have healthy children. What a great cause to help those who are not well.
I have a little girl who was born with several heart defects. Charities like these mean a lot because even I didnt think I would be able to afford it.
Charities like these mean so much. What a great cause to help children’s hospitals.

Wow. That had to be the scariest time of your life. I’m glad you were able to get the help for your daughter that she needed, and I’m glad to know there’s a program out there to support such a great hospital.
