Sammy's Marathon Run for Shriners

As an infant, I was born with a condition commonly known as a club foot. At eight months old, I had to undergo surgery to correct my physical disability in order to be able to walk right. Doctor Barnes and his staff at Shriners Hospital did an amazing job with the surgery. What I am about to accomplish this Saturday could never have been thought possible if it weren't for the amazing people over at Shriners Hospital. This Saturday, I will be setting out to complete my first ever marathon! A marathon is 26.2 miles in total distance. For this marathon, I will be running for all the kids and young adults over at Shriners who sadly do not have the ability to run and compete in physical activities. Any donation is greatly appreciated but, it would mean a lot if each person would donate a dollar per mile coming out to a grand total of $26.20! All of the proceeds will be donated to Shriners to continue their great work assisting those who are in need of medical care for many different disabilities. I am blessed to be in the condition I am today and Shriners deserves much of that credit so help me in giving back to them and helping a boy or girl in need! Thank you!
