A MESSAGE FROM Melissa's NYC marathon fundraising page
Almost 5 years ago, I didn’t know how to run. And 2 marathons later, I decided to run all 6 world major marathons. And just like for my first marathon, I chose to run it for some of the most amazing people I’ve had the privilege to meet: my patients.

 I'm running the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon for an organization very near and dear to my heart: The Children's Heart Foundation. I am fundraising in support of their mission: to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects (CHDs) by funding the most promising research. When you donate to The Children's Heart Foundation, you help support breakthrough CHD research that will help save, extend, and improve the lives of individuals living with CHDs. 

THANK YOU in advance for supporting my efforts! With each mile, I’ll think of them and the village it takes to take care of little hearts. Thank you!

    So very proud to call you my friend. I remember so many late night conversations with you at work and your kind and tender nature with our precious patients and families. I love how God has blessed you with your husband and children and you are setting such an amazing example to your children through the many commitments you make and keep.
