600 Mile Walk To Save Kids' Lives

WALKING 600 MILES TO SAVE KIDS" LIVES

My name is Jim Burns.  I am married with three awesome and healthy kids.   I live in suburban Philadelphia.

On Sunday June 5, 2017, I will start at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia King of Prussia location.  From there I will walk about 600 miles ober five weeks - ending at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, MI on Sunday, July 10.  I am calling the event Chad On!

My goal is to raise at least $2 million with donations to be split between CHOP and The Chad Tough Foundation of Ann Arbor, MI.   Proceeds will go to pediatric brain research.

CTF is named after Chad Carr.  He is the late grandson of former University of Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr.  Chad died at age five of an inoperable brain tumor.  
I suffered a horrible head injury last year.  I am lucky to be alive.  I am dedicated to making sure that pediatric brain issues are a thing of the past.  I love kids, and want to save lives.

I am seeking $5,000 to cover my family's expenses for the five weeks I will be gone as well as an additional $5,000 to cover personal expenses incurred during my walk.  Funds remaining will go to the cause.

Funds received no later than Juky 10, 2016 greatly appreciated.

To donate to my walk directly, starting on Sunday, June 5, go to chadtough.org and find the link there.

Thank you!
