I Can And I Will Run!

Event Overview

I can and I will is the mantra Olivia and her mom, Alisa, have been saying since 2018. Whether it's prepping to be poked by a needle or running up a big hill, we remind ourselves that we can and we will! We take these words to heart and they have been pushing us to do big things!

Purpose of the Run

We created this event to help Seattle Children':s Hospital provide world class care to patients regardless of their ability to pay. Everyday a family walks into Seattle Children':s Hospital and learns something that will forever change them. No parent should have to deal with a difficult diagnosis for their child and face financial hardship when seeking care for their child.

Impact of Participation

• Difference: Every step you take will make a difference in the lives of families who are impacted by a devastating diagnosis and wondering how they will pay the medical bills.
• Proceeds: 100% of race net proceeds from this fun run will benefit uncompensated care at Seattle Children's Hospital.
• Thank You: Thank you for your participation and help. You are ensuring that families can focus on their child's wellbeing: not the medical bill in their mailbox.
• Welcome: If you've been to the Run before, awesome, thank you for the ongoing support! And if you are joining us for the first time, welcome to the party!
