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 has grown 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.

Two years ago 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 2014 Marathoners for Medicine Team and Sue Paterno and Greg Fredericks are returning as the honorary women's and men's coaches.

Please help me 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, and mental health issues.


 
Jaimie Wright's Story

I am thrilled to be running the 2014 Boston Marathon and raising funds to support CVIM. As soon as I heard about last year's bombing, I decided that I needed to be at the starting line of this year's marathon to show my support for the running community and the people of Boston, where I spent my high school years and where my family still lives. I have done a lot of moving in my life, and each time I've moved to a new place, the running community has been welcoming and supportive, and runners have been among my closest friends.  I managed to qualify for Boston the very last weekend before the Boston Marathon registration opened.

This year's marathon will demonstrate how strong and supportive of each other the running community is, and that together, we bring out the best in each other. I am so excited to have family and friends cheering along the course, as well as the thousands of spectators who wish the runners well.

I am also glad to be raising funds to support CVIM, an organization that truly makes a difference in State College. 

Thank you so much for your support!

Jaimie
