Do you have a hero? Somone who has fought cancer, fighting cancer, dedicated their time to help cancer patients or just a person that really has made a difference in your life? On January 12-13 I will run in the Disney Goofy Challenge covering 39.3 miles over 2 days with a goal of raising over $3900. I want to honor 39 individuals during this run.
How you can honor a hero
- Donate $39 (or more) at http://pages.teamintraining.org/uny/wdw13/jennieh
- Write, “I have a hero” in the comments section when you donate. Feel free to name your hero in the comments or I will contact you.
- I will contact you with additional details. You may choose as short message, name, and mile number if available.
- One $39 donation per mile (you may donate for additional heros or list mutiple family members on one mile)
- Only 39 spots available 😉
Who is a hero?
Anyone! It can be an honored patient, in memory of a loved one, your children, a person who is just a hero in your life. You name your hero!
What you receive
- One mile of the 39.3 mile run will be dedicated to your hero.
- A photo of their mile maker from my run mailed to you in January.
- A ribbon on my shirt with a short message honoring your hero (white for boys, lavender for girls). I will wear these during the marathon weekend.
- A special holiday card.
- A special thank you note.
The Disney courses run through all four theme parks and by their themed landmarks such as Cinderalla’s castle. You can see their maps in large scale and detail by clicking the link titles below. Feel free to pick a specific mile marker if it is still available, otherwise I can randomly assign one to your hero. All miles have awesome mile markers and there is something great each mile along the way.

38. “Jennie -For her big heart and all the time and effort she puts in helping others.” Yes this is me. I did not write this. My parents donated a hero mile in my name, because I am their hero. Corny, I know, but gotta love them <3. (Of course they donated enough for several more so I am sneaking in a few hero mile suprises for them…13,14 and 21 🙂
39. Kim R. Our friend Tiffany is the BEST as I am sure you know! This is my favorite mile and she dedicated it just for you :)!
