WHY I'M RUNNING
Last year I ran the 24 in 24 for the first time. I signed up knowing it would be a physical challenge but did not anticipate the emotional impact it would create. I have never run for a charity prior to last yearโs event and I am so glad I chose this as my first fundraiser. Each mile that we run and each hour we are awake is a challenge. With each passing hour into the night, I am reminded that my body is being tested for a single day. 24 hours. This cannot even compare to the children that we are raising money for. The *wish* kids that are benefiting from the event are confronted with chronic health concerns 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are not offered the luxury of resting or forgetting their illness. I run this event to raise money so that the *wish* kids can have a vacation from their sickness. I run this event because I have been awarded the honor of good health. I run this event because this year I was able to see photos of Wyatt (2021 *wish* kid) smile on his way to a dream vacation at Disney World. Lastly, I run this event because I can.
My โwhyโ for running the 24 in 24 challenge is simple, these *wish* kids deserve a world of happiness, so please help me give it to them.

About Team Annika
Annika is a charming and tenacious three-year-old girl with an infectious smile and bold sense of adventure. At 3 months old, she had her first hospital admission. A month later, an MRI and EEG reveled that Anni suffered extensive damage that destroyed over half her brain. After extensive testing, the cause of her widespread cystic encephalomalacia remains unknown. The next year and a half of Annikaโs life was filled with hospital stays, surgeries, and collecting a myriad of specialists, therapists, and secondary diagnoses. Anni has mixed hyperkinetic bilateral cerebral palsy, CVI and other neurological visual impairments, and takes most of ...
