Fifteen Major Races Across the USA Accomplish your fitness goal and make an enormous difference in the lives of countless children. Participate in Children’s Hospital Boston’s national marathon program. Operating a national running program seems fitting for a hospital that treats children from across the country—and around the globe. The Boston MarathonÒ has been the proving ground for this program the past 10 years. Last April, 141 Boston Marathoners running on behalf of the hospital collected $980,000 for Children’s. That money strengthens an institution that families worldwide rely on for care not found anywhere else.  Why Children’s Hospital Boston In addition to patient care, Children’s is known for its research, community outreach and graduate medical education programs. Children’s innovates—identifying problems and developing sound programs to address the complex health needs of children. One example is our Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program, created by internationally renowned researcher David Ludwig. Childhood obesity is a growing epidemic with toxic outcomes—diabetes, heart conditions, and more. With help from Children’s, kids can combat obesity and lead healthier lives. Money raised through Children’s national marathon program benefits the OWL program. Consider celebrating your own health—while helping to provide a healthier future for kids—by running for Children’s. Fundraising Haven’t participated in a fundraiser?
