Mrs. Laskey's "WHY" 

On October 13, 2024, I will be representing Advocate Health Care and my Northern Michigan Community as a member of the charity running team at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon! As a member of the charity running team, I will be training, fundraising, and ultimately running 26.2 miles to benefit patients and families in need--more specifically, children suffering from childhood trauma. 

Since 2011, the Advocate charity running team has raised nearly $2 million for Advocate Health Care programs and services. By joining the charity running team, I am part of a diverse group of people who are supporting cancer research, helping children and adults with Down syndrome, giving back to the nurses and physicians who save lives every day and much more.  

You too can support Advocate Health Care by contributing to my efforts to fundraise. Your donation of any amount will not only help me achieve my goal, but will also help to ensure that over one million people have access to world-class care close to their home. 

As an educator and advocate for my students, children advocacy is VERY near and dear to my heart. It is an honor to run for such a meaningful cause.

Thank you for your support and consideration, 

Amanda (Mrs.Laskey)
