The Children's Memorial Marathon Team is a special group of people who raise money for the patients and families at Children's Memorial Hospital while training for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

To ensure that Children's Memorial can continue to provide children with access to the best pediatric specialists, the latest technologies and the most innovative programs, we need your help! By joining the Children's Memorial Marathon Team you can make a difference for kids. The challenges of caring for children today are great, but your support ensures that this world-class children's hospital will always be right in our own backyard for children and families who need us.

100% of all pledges raised by Children's Memorial Marathon Team members will be directed to the hospital's area of greatest need, unless otherwise specified. Last year, nearly 400 runners raised more than $450,000 to support Children's Memorial Hospital.

Online registration for the 2009 Children's Memorial Marathon Team will open in January, so please check back for more details at that time.

Thank you for your support!
