Marathoners for Medicine Sponsors

  • Mount Nittany Health System

This spring, I will join a group of local runners participating in various marathons as a means of raising money and awareness for Centre Volunteers in Medicine.  Marathoners in Medicine grew from a single person running the Boston Marathon and collecting money in support of his run, to a group of more than 35 runners who run several different marathons in support of CVIM.  This year, we will also be running in honor and in memory of the person who has served as our honorary head coach from the beginning, Joe Paterno.

In 2003, Joe and Sue Paterno along with PSU Track and Field Olympian Greg Fredericks were asked to help lead the team as honorary coaches.  Sue leading the women, Greg leading the men, and Joe, of course, as the team's honorary head coach.  Joe said various times that he didn't know anything about running a marathon, but year after year, Joe was there, motivating and inspiring the athletes. 

Sue Paterno and Greg Fredericks are returning for the 2012 Marathoners for Medicine Team as the honorary women's and men's coaches.  We are pleased to announce that Penn State Women's Volleyball Coach, Russ Rose, is joining the Marathon effort as our 2012 honorary head coach!

Please join me and support the Marathoners for Medicine as we run to raise funds and awareness for CVIM. 


CVIM is a free clinic providing medical and dental care, medication assistance and case management services to the thousands in Centre County without healthcare coverage.  Every day, CVIM cares for people with any number of treatable illnesses and conditions, such as:  high blood pressure, diabetes, extreme dental decay, mental health issues, to name a few. 
 
Andy Cunningham 's Story
Please join me in the fundraising effort for Centre Volunteers in Medicine.  I am running in my third Boston marathon overall, and I've been part of the CVIM team for each one.  I am proud to run for the organization, and I feel that it is a wonderful thing to exist in our community. Doctors, nurses, dentists, and other medical professionals volunteer their time to help those in need—specifically people who work hard, but cannot afford health insurance due to the cost or because it is not provided by their employer.  CVIM relies heavily upon donations to "run", and each dollar does make a difference to our neighbors in Centre county. Please join me in supporting CVIM. I'll do the running, but I really need your help to support a terrific cause.
