Thanks for checking out my fundraising page! I specifically chose this charity due to its size and how it's operated, allowing a larger portion of your donation dollars to go to those in need. As well as, seeing a friend/colleague spend a lot of out-of-pocket dollars on travel in order to see the specialists he needed to fight the good fight. If you do donate, please consider submitting your donation receipt to your employer's matching gift program to create even more impact for our beneficiaries!
On September 29th, 2019, I will be heading to Berlin to run the BMW Berlin Marathon on behalf of Endure to Cure Pediatric Cancer Foundation (E2C). I'm am excited to be representing such a great cause, as well as taking part in my 5th marathon, my 3rd of my goal to run the Six Abbott World Marathon Majors.
E2C's programs include the Small Miracles Program provides children in cancer treatment and their families with uplifting gifts and experiences to help boost their spirits. Its Travel for Treatment Assistance Program helps families cover the immediate and uninsurable out-of-pocket expenses related to getting to and from their child’s cancer treatments. These expenses include things such as transportation, meals, and lodging.
E2C is a growing non-profit that has a platinum rating (the highest) by the leading charity watchdog organization GuideStar, recognizing E2C's transparency in fundraising and allocation of donations.
Fun Fact: E2C is 100% Volunteer Operated. Since founded, it has been operated with zero paid employees and very little overhead. That not only means a large percentage of funds raised goes to their programs, but it also means that the impact they create is purely a function of the contributions of our Team E2C members.
As a member of Team E2C, I will be running with an equally dedicated group of individuals willing to go the distance for this cause. Each year in the U.S. alone, nearly 15,000 children will be diagnosed with cancer. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will help ease the emotional and financial impacts of childhood cancer.
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
