Hello!

This year I will be running the Austin Marathon, and I am raising funds which will support Seton Southwest Hospital!

Thank you for supporting Seton Southwest Hospital! Seton Southwest is a member of the Seton Family of Hospitals. It is a small community not-for-profit hospital that has been proudly serving Southwest Austin for 10 years. The hospital has achieved outstanding success and is one of the Austin leaders with hospital patient satisfaction and loyalty. The hospital has also been a strong leader in innovative methods to improve efficiency and patient throughput with Emergency Room door to doctor times some of the best in the country. As part of the Seton family, Seton Southwest serves to support a strong mission to provide quality healthcare to central Texas with a special concern for the most vulnerable in our community.

26 Miles for 26 Charities

Seton Southwest has been selected as one of the 2011-2012 Charities to participate in 26 Miles for 26 Charities. Funds raised will benefit the Sr. Jean Wesselman Nursing and Allied Health Scholarship Endowment and special projects at Seton Southwest Hospital as designated by the Seton Fund Board of Trustees.

26 Miles for 26 Charities is the philanthropy program of the LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon and Half Marathon. The program provides Central Texas non-profits with the opportunity to advance community awareness while raising money to support their mission.

Participating non-profits host a water stop on the marathon or half marathon course. Each non-profit is assigned their own water stop and will be represented by over 1,000 volunteers. Runners will find great themes along the course, many of which reflect the mission of the non-profits. We hope this provides a moment of joy for the runners as they make their journey to the finish line.
