Betty Cares Goes Goofy

January 7 & 8, 2012 Lake Buena Vista, FL

Well, this may not apply to the entire team at Betty Cares, but one of the Founders, Kira, truly has gone Goofy! Kira has committed to tackle RunDisney's most goofy running feat as she trains to (hopefully) complete the Goofy Race and a Half Challenge at the Walt Disney World Resort on January 7 and 8. The Goofy Challenge consists of a half marathon (13.1 miles on Saturday, January 7) and a full marathon (26.2 miles on Sunday, January 8) to complete a total of 39.3 miles on these two consecutive days. Although the completion of the Goofy Challenge will earn Kira (and the many other Goofy Challenge runners) three medals, Kira endeavors to do something more. She hopes that for each mile she completes, generous supporters of Miami Children's Hospital will consider donating one dollar to Betty Cares and support caregivers at the hospital.

Already, on its one year anniversary, Betty Cares has raised $20,000 to support family members of children cared for at Miami Children's Hospital. With those funds, Betty Cares is working on Care Bags for family members, renovating the operating waiting room to provide families with more comforts and privacy as well as other caring complements to the already wonderful hospital. Betty Cares is looking forward to providing the hospital with laptops for families of children in the hospital to share this holiday season.

You, too, can go Goofy by making a donation of a multiple of $39.3. After all, it is much less Goofy than running the 39.3! Thanks for your support and I can assure you that Kira will be posting pictures after successfully tackling the challenge! We look forward to seeing you at our Cars, Cocktails, Cuisine Caring Celebration in support of Betty Cares at Miami Children's Hospital presented by The Law Offices of Jason Turchin at The Dauer Museum of Classic Cars on April 28, 2012!

Thank you for Going Goofy with Betty Cares! Please don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

See ya' real soon!

With love and caring,
