My Story…
As most of you know, I am currently training for the 2022 Pittsburgh Marathon. What you might not know is that I am registered as a charity runner for the American Cancer Society. Unfortunately, our family has been hit hard by cancer over the last 5 years – brain cancer, lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer. It is devastating. I know several women, who are my age, who have recently undergone treatment for breast cancer. It is just too much. And these are just a few. I am sure so many of you have gone through similar situations with your families and friends. And that is why I am running and raising money for the American Cancer Society. I am running for our family members who can’t. I am raising funds for those still going through the struggles of diagnosis, treatment, and remission.
Description
Why I Am Participating in the Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend to Support the American Cancer Society
For the first time in history, the American Cancer Society's mission is at risk - including their ability to fund cancer research. The American Cancer Society needs to be here to help patients face cancer with comprehensive support, but they need our help to be able to do so. Every dollar will truly make a difference right now.
Taking part in this event gives me the chance to make a difference and honor those touched by cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research and services for people dealing with cancer. I'm also participating to inspire hope for those facing the disease and raising money for the American Cancer Society's event to help save lives from cancer. I hope you'll consider signing up too.
Funds raised support cancer patient programs and groundbreaking research that can help save lives. This event also celebrates over 15.5 million cancer survivors nationwide. 15.5 MILLION. That's huge. That's why I'd love your support. Will you join me? And if you can't would you be so kind as to make a donation?
