The idea behind my group is to raise money for members of my community that may need help due to illness, fire or unexpected event. We collect donations throughout the year and then run a race in honor of those we were able to help. I encourage anyone that would like to run a race with me to do so. 100% of all donations go to the recipient of the race.

Griffin Helsten Fundraiser
Griffin is a 9 year old boy who has just recently been diagnosed with a severe heart condition. I have been collecting donations and will be running in the Marquette Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day with about 40 other people representing Running for a Reason on behalf of Griffin. Griffin just recently had a pacemaker put in, but will probably have to have a heart transpant in the future. Hopefully we can help relieve a little bit of the financial stress of traveling back and forth to the hospital in addition to his medical expenses.
