Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! My family will be participating in the third annual Run of Hope in memory of my daughter, Marissa Simmonds. Please consider sponsoring or participating with us on Team Marissa Simmonds. The fundraising goal for this event is $250,000 and my personal goal is $5,000.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. You may register to participate on Team Marissa Simmonds and find out more about the Run of Hope by visiting www.runofhopeseattle.com.

We are so appreciative of everyone who has supported us since Marissa died from a brain tumor in 2004. So many exciting things are happening in the Seattle Children's Hospital research community and we are pleased to contribute to finding a better way to treat pediatric brain tumors.

Many thanks for your support!

Ilene Simmonds
