Bring Hope From Coast 2 Coast!

DMAIG is excited to present the second annual Hope From Coast 2 Coast virtual fundraiser which will run during the week leading up to THON 2018. This event consists of a virtual run with fundraising options and different levels of participation, each based on running experience or personal preference.

Hope From Coast 2 Coast (HFC2C) will take place February 11–18, 2018. Participants can choose to run one of four distances, each of which represents one of Christopher Millard’s Four Diamonds:

• The Courage Team will fundraise or run/walk 1 mile.
• The Honesty Team will run or walk 5 kilometers, or 3.1 miles.
• The Strength Team has the entire week to run 46 miles, as Penn State Dance Marathon dancers stand for 46 hours.
• The Wisdom Team will run 100 miles, the approximate distance between Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital and Penn State University in University Park, PA. This distance will be completed as a team among friends and family, or participants can choose to be paired with fellow Penn State alumni from around the country.
  
  

To sign up for the fundraising event, every participant will need to create a fundraising page and select a team. Then, a DMAIG representative will email further instructions, a fundraising guide, and a link to a support group for all runners.
