Christiana Care Delaware Marathon


I had the pleasure of handing out medals to some amazing runners at the Christiana Care Delaware Marathon. I joined forces with some lovely ladies and fellow delegates Ellen England - Mrs. Pike Creek US 2010, Jessy Long - Mrs Newark, US 2010 and Catherine Simon - Mrs. Mid-State US 2010.

Despite a rainy morning, we had a great time celebrating one victory after another as the racers crossed through the finish line. Although we were cold and wet, it was worth it to be able to cheer the runners on and offer them congratulations at the finish line!

The race benefits The Center for Heart & Vascular Health at Christiana Care which provides the multidisciplinary capability for the prevention, treatment and improved understanding through research and education of cardiovascular diseases on behalf of all people in this community. It was especially important for me to be there.... I work for Christiana Care's Center for Heart and Vascular Health in the Cardiac Research department and my platform is Women's Heart Health.
