Hi everyone! My name is Karen Austin, and I’m running the Columbus Marathon to raise money for Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

I’m taking on this challenge to support an incredible organization that provides life-changing care to children and families when they need it most. Every mile I run will have a bigger purpose, and every donation, big or small, can make a difference.

Nationwide Children’s Hospital Foundation supports the hospital’s mission of providing exceptional care, research, education, and advocacy for children and families, regardless of their ability to pay.

Every contribution helps move this mission forward. If you’re able to donate, I would be incredibly grateful. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing my fundraiser is just as appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support, kindness, and generosity. It truly means the world.
