at Miracle Miles<br />
2007<br />
Before sunrise, runners gathered for the 15K sponsored by Pediatrix Medical Group, the physician practice<br />
caring for the tiny babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Central Florida <strong>Health</strong>care Federal<br />
Credit Union kicked off the Opening Ceremony with a few words before the pre-run warm up led by Chickfil-A<br />
cow cheerleaders and staff from the <strong>Orlando</strong> Regional Wellness Center. Former neonatal graduate and<br />
eight time female winner of Miracle Miles, Michelle Kendall-Krueger, sang the national anthem and later assisted<br />
other NICU graduates distribute awards sponsored by IKON Office Solutions. The top 15K male and female<br />
winners were thrilled to receive a TAG Heuer watch generously donated by Tharoo & Company, The Jewelry<br />
Boutique. Special thanks to our other lead sponsors Robins & Morton, Sam’s Club, The Vaughn Group/Clark<br />
Consulting, UBS Financial Services, Abbott Laboratories and Ovation Pharmaceuticals for their support of our 2007 event.<br />
More than 200 young athletes received a medal and a hug from Shamu for participating in the Kids’ Fun Run sponsored by SeaWorld<br />
<strong>Orlando</strong> – showing that they are also BIG supporters of tiny babies.<br />
Spectators, families and friends joined the runners in post-race festivities including refreshments from Chick-fil-A, Rainforest Café,<br />
Gooding’s Catering, Panda Express and Coca Cola. UBS Financial Services brought out the child in all by providing balloon art and<br />
refreshing snow cones. Little faces were transformed into glittery princesses and baby cows by Enjoy Your Face while others got creative<br />
at the Kiddy Dough station sponsored by Pediatrix Medical Group. Runners and spectators alike were invited to enjoy a complimentary<br />
massage courtesy of the <strong>Orlando</strong> Regional Wellness Center. While crossing the finish line of the 15K was a milestone for many, Miracle<br />
Miles celebrates the fact that every day is a milestone in the life of a preemie!
