    We did it! Marathon run raises over $170K for students

    Last modified on May 27, 2026

    Christel House International President and CEO David Harris set out to run the London Marathon with an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 to support Christel House children around the world. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our supporters and partners, that goal was not only met— it was surpassed in remarkable fashion. Together, the London Marathon Fundraising Campaign raised more than $170,000 to help Christel House students access the education, support and opportunities they need to build brighter futures. We extend our sincere thanks to our Gold Sponsors — The Nicholas H. Noyes, Jr. Memorial Foundation; Faegre Drinker; Don Knebel and Diane Thompson; Martha and Ned Lamkin; Veronique Harel and Steve Ross; Mark and Claudia Willis; and Marion and David Harris — as well as our Silver Sponsors, The Indianapolis Foundation and KeyBank, for making this incredible achievement possible.
