Road Runners Celebrate Milestones
January 19, 2010
 |
Road Runners are volunteer drivers from Shriners International who provide transportation to and from our hospitals for patients and families. Thomas Forrest and Arron Mills are Road Runners from Sudan Shriners, and they recently made their 100th trip to Shriners Hospitals for Children in Greenville. Megan Paszt, a Shriners Hospitals for Children patient, was part of the milestone trip |
Each day, dozens of Road Runners from across the six states our hospital serves, make the trip from their hometowns to Shriners Hospitals for Children in Greenville, SC.
Road Runners are volunteer drivers from Shriners International who help ensure our patients are able to keep their medical appointments, by providing transportation to and from the hospital. The service is free of charge families, but the Road Runners say they are paid with smiles from the children and families.
During 2009, Road Runners made 3,583 trips to the our Greenville hospital. That’s approximately 833,811 miles in one year! In all, our Road Runners spent more than 534,822.46 hours on the road.
When asked why they volunteer so much of their time, Road Runners say that when they look at what the families are going through with the sick children, they are happy to drive any distance to help them.
