Running for Hope

I have put together a fundraising team in Joey's honor for the Running for Hope race on Sunday, June 7th in Oak Lawn, IL. This event helps to raise money for children and families of Advocate Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald house. The Running for Hope 5K Run/Walk is a flat, fast 3.1 mile race through the streets of Oak Lawn. There is also a kids dash for the little ones. For details about the event please see below:

5K Run/Walk Start Time: 8:00 am
Kids Dash Start Time: 9:30 am


Our fundraising team name is Joey's Angels and the proceeds raised will be donated to the hospital in Joey's name. The staff at Advocate has become like family to us and they went above and beyond for our family. We feel very fortunate to of had Joey in their care and also to have had access to the Ronald McDonald house. We stayed at the house numerous times and they welcomed us in with free meals, logging, and other special treats that made our stay very comfortable.  Both parties made an extremely difficult time much easier for us. We are asking friends and family to please support us in our fundraise for them. Please see the link to my fundraising page below:
