Past Event Highlights:

    Briggs & Al’s Run & Walk 2008-2010

Aiden’s family and friends have proudly participated in the annual Briggs & Al’s Run & Walk for Milwaukee Children’s Hospital since Aiden’s treatment at the facility began.  The walk is the oldest run/walk in the state of Wisconsin and one of the largest combined 8K events in the U.S. with approximately 15,000 – 16,000 participants each year. 

The walk/run has raised more than $12 million for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, with all gifts and pledges going directly to help children.  We’re proud to say that Aiden’s personal Briggs & Al’s web page at www.firstgiving.com/aidendoner has raised approximately $5,000 for the hospital since we began participating in 2008.

In 2008, Aiden was one of eleven patients selected as a “Children’s Champion.”   Champions inspire other families who might be going through a difficult time and raise awareness about a disease or important health issue.  Many of these children, and thousands of other children they represent, have faced life-threatening illness. Some of them are still fighting for their lives.

We are proud to be a part of the Briggs & Al’s Run & Walk each year.  We feel honored to be able to give back to a facility that has done so much for so many…a facility that has saved Aiden’s life time-and-again.  

Funds raised through the Briggs & Al’s Run & Walk support the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).  Children’s provides highly specialized care to critically ill patients of all ages, from newborns to adolescents.  Children’s Hospital is a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center with 72 pediatric critical care beds.
