Marathoners for Medicine Sponsors

  • Mount Nittany Health

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. 

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.  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. 

Last year Penn State Women's Volleyball Coach, Russ Rose, joined the Marathon effort as our honorary head coach! We are pleased to announce that Russ Rose will return as honorary head coach for the 2013 Marathoners for Medicine Team and Sue Paterno and Greg Fredericks are returning as the honorary women's and men's coaches.

Please help 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. 


 
Michael Sullivan's Story

Well, as I arrive in Boston for what has become a near annual trip.  This Monday will mark the 15th time I have run The Boston Marathon.  Being my 32nd marathon in all, I imagine there's a lot I've learned through the years...more of that another time.  But on the eve of another marathon, I feel very fortunate for the good health and fitness that has allowed me to accomplish all that I have.  

When I'm running on Monday, at some point  I will think about those who have not been so fortunate, and I will appreciate the fact that CVIM is available to support those in need.

Please join me in the fundraising effort for this organization.
