Help Eileen raise money

For participating in 2022 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

I'm back once again asking for your help in supporting Light of Life and me as I participate in the Run For A Reason program through the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon weekend events.  Light of Life continues to provide assistance and support to those facing homelessness and addiction in the Pittsburgh community.  I've been involved with Light of Life going back to high school at North Catholic, and have been a charity runner for them since 2015.

This year I'll be running in the Half Marathon.  Thanks to our fundraising efforts during 2021, I will be running the "back half" half marathon, which means I'll start at mile marker 13.1 and complete the back half of the marathon course.  I'm looking forward to running through some new neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, which I know will have the great crowd support that I've seen on the half marathon course. (I'm also looking forward to fewer "hills" as I won't be going over any bridges.)

Thank you again for your support!
