GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - West Michigan radio host Jackie Green is raising money for Kids Food Basket during the COVID-19 crisis by turning an important moment in her life, into a fundraiser.
You may be familiar with Green on 105.3 Hot FM. She co-hosts the Gray & Green Show every Monday-Friday from 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Green has been training for months, after qualifying to run the Boston Marathon. The race has since been postponed to September, due to Coronavirus concerns.
Green put her training to the test by running 26.2 miles through downtown Grand Rapids on Monday, April 20 to raise money for Kids Food Basket.
So far, the fundraiser has brought in nearly $4,000. You can still donate to the cause here.
Green's co-host, Rachel Gray, followed along in the Hot-FM vehicle as Jackie’s pace car.
