Miracle Marathon

28 May 2010 | By Carole in Uncategorized

Wow! This is a busy place.  The cars never stop, the people never stop and the care never stops.  Dave and I are in the middle of our 13th Miracle Marathon for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and we are still amazed by everything associated with this place.

Did you know that in 1998 Children’s Hospital had 222 licensed inpatient beds?  In 2010 that number  increased to 296.  Did you know that Children’s Hospital in 1998 completed two heart transplants?  That number  increased this year  to 49.  It’s nothing short of miraculous what this hospital has been able to accomplish in just 12 years.

 

Children’s Hospital is about people; it’s about kids and families.  The entire staff works together towards one single goal…..getting kids healthy and keeping them that way.

 

During this Miracle Marathon we have heard all kinds of stories, some  are sad and some  are inspiring.  Everyone has one and they are ready to share them with us.  One of our moms even said that she would travel around the world to get to Children’s. I think that speaks volumes.

 

Children’s Hospital is a treasure to be supported and that’s why we have held the Miracle Marathon for the past 13 years.  I am blessed with two biological children, but through my association with Children’s’ I feel I have hundreds more. These are all my kids and I want to make sure that Children’s stays right here. 

Please donate to the Miracle Marathon.
