John Wilcock's Story
I have been supporting CVIM via the Marathoners for Medicine Team for 3 years. As some of you may know, my first year with the team I ran every marathon in Pennsylvania (13). People always comment on how difficult that must have been, but to compare that to living without health insurance...
In 2010, 49.9M people in the US were not covered by health insurance. Note that many of these people are contributing to society in jobs that don't provide health insurance and don't provide enough of an income so that the individual can purchase their own coverage. Imagine having to make a decision on whether to feed yourself (or even your children) or to obtain life-saving healthcare.
Please help in whatever way you can. Any donation is greatly appreciated and shows that CVIM is valued by the entire community, not just those that currently need a helping hand.
