Tony Cortinas, President of Marathon Consulting, said, “Marathon has been a supporter of the CHKD RunWalk for the Kids for over 14 years now, and seeing so many people, as well as organizations, come together to raise funds for the Children's Hospital of the Kings Daughters never fails to inspire. Each year, we are proud to have our team of Marathon employees, family, and friends join in the fun while supporting the growth and advancement of CHKD's exceptional medical care and services they provide to children throughout our region."

"This event is truly a team effort - without the generous support of all of the runners, walkers, spectators, volunteers, donors, team leaders, sponsors and more specifically, our presenting sponsor, Marathon Consulting, the success of this event would not be possible." said Lisa Coleman, Executive Director of The King's Daughters. "Over the past 14 years that Marathon Consulting has sponsored the RunWalk for the Kids, they have helped us raise funds to support the purchase of equipment and support programs for CHKD such as: CHKD's Mental Health Hospital, CHKD Transport Unit and CHKD sports medicine program to name a few."
