31st Annual Briggs Als Run & Walk

The 31st Annual Brigg's Als Run & Walk to benefit Children's Hosptial of Wisconsin is coming up on September 20th! We are excited to announce that we will be participating in this event!
This is a very special event to us, because it benefits a place that is very special to us! Children's Hospital of Wisconsin is the place that mended Maddie's little heart; the place that gave our daughter, our little girl, her life!
No words, no activity, no dollar amount can ever do enough justice for all the facility, the doctors, nurses, surgeon, and other staff have done for our family. Participating in the Als Run & Walk in one way we can give back to the place that has given us so much!
Every penny earned goes to the children, which is why this event is so wonderful. So, we are here to ask you to consider joining us in participating in this special event!
There are a few options out there for you...
1. You can participate the day of the event. Als Run & Walk offers an 8K Run, 3 or 5 Mile Walk, and Wheelchair as options. Our family will be walking so that Maddie's brothers can share in this with their little sister. We haven't finalized if we'll do the 3 or 5 mile...It will depend on who all joins us and what we all want to do. The more the merrier!!!
2. You can sponsor Maddie by making a donation. Remember, the great thing of this event is 100% of the money raised goes directly to helping the children.
