What I Am Running For
I joined the Osborne Head and Neck Foundation’s 5k team of Headstrong Heroes fighting for families in need of medical care. Will you help me reach my fundraising goal?
Together we can support surgical, housing, and travel grant programs for low and no income patients in need. My run is part of efforts to raise money and awareness for the Foundation’s a Medical Mission to Guatemala in July 2023 where over 64% of the population in Guatemala lives below the poverty line without access to medical care.
Together we can change lives. Learn More about your impact.
I’ve committed to raising $10,000 towards Medical and Impact Missions in Guatemala. With your support we can change lives.
You’re supporting communities with little to no access to medical care, and helping provide a wide array of medical services.
Your donation is…
- Providing clinical and surgical services, at no cost, to those living in extreme poverty in Guatemala
- Arranging and paying for transportation for patients living in remote villages
- Providing local language experts to eliminate language as a barrier to care
- Securing lodging for patients in the city during treatment and post op care
- Refreshing a school with onsite community works
- Increasing access to educational opportunities for children
