FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Help Carry The Torch For Hospitalized Kids
The Torch Relay Is Coming November 4!

This year, the Torch Relay for Children’s Miracle Network has expanded to a 23-day event covering over 6,000 miles to raise money for Children's Miracle Network hospitals across the country. The Torch Relay begins in Chicago, Illinois, and will continue on to Ohio and Pennsylvania before making the turn down the eastern seaboard and, eventually, heading west to conclude in Los Angeles, California. There will be a major walk event at each stop along the 23-day tour centered around key landmarks and/ or the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in each city. As in the past, all funds raised through the Torch Relay will benefit the local participating Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in each community.
