Hello...running a half marathon:)

melindadunston

I am running the Columbus City Half marathon on October 21 this year. It will be my first half ever. I have done a few shorter races. I am running this not just for the sport but I am trying to raise money for a great cause, Columbus Ohio Children's hospital. I know very few of you actually know me but I am asking you to take a minute and donate even a $1. Who doesn't have $1 to spare?

On this marathon/half each mile of it(I am only doing the half)is dedicated to a different patient. From children dealing with developmental delays to a little boy that is only five and has dealt with cancer for more than half of his life! These children have a mile dedicated to them and they will be there cheering me on at there mile marker! How amazing and inspiring. They are supporting me so I want to raise $ in support of them!

Again I am only asking for a few minutes of your time and $1! Many of us have been so blessed with healthy children. Please help support these families!

For more information on these amazing children please go to: http://www.nationwidechildrens.org/marathon-miracle-mile-patients

To donate your $1 Please go to: http://www.nationwidechildrens.org.kintera.org/childrenschampions/mindydunston

Thank you so much for your support in this amazing cause!

Hi Melinda--
I'm from OHIO originally (Cleveland area), and I think this is such a great cause so I would love to support you. Maybe next year I will be in condition to do a half - Have a great time, and what a great achievement you will have under your belt!
