**The run has officially started! As I type this I’m 10 hours in and 43 miles through. I’ll continue to update my Instagram (@MitchHost) with updates every 2 hours or so. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far, you really know how to make my day!**

As an operations leader for the Maternal Fetal Medicine clinic for the last 6 years, I know how important it is for our moms and babies to receive the most important care of their maternity journey. If I can help be a solution to receiving better care by raising financial support for our clinic, I'm going to do my part and help.

This year Maternal-Fetal Medicine was selected by our foundation to be the recipients of their 2025 efforts to raise money to support North Memorial services. I'm taking part in a 24 hours endurance run where I hope to raise money as part of the larger work being done.

If interested, I'm open to your support by committing a certain amount per every mile which I run before I start on Thursday, September 25th at 6:00pm. At the conclusion of this event (evening of Friday, September 26th) I'll update this page with the total mileage ran and you can then complete your donation. I'm also open to a standard donation if you're worried I might bankrupt you (but where is the fun and risk in that??)

I'm also open to anyone who might be interested in joining me and can crew or be a pacer, just reach out to me :)

Thanks in advance for your support and I look forward to the task ahead.
