Help Lisa raise money

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

My Story…

Funding and support for research and innovation is an ever continuing personal mission of mine. I have chosen Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh to direct my fundraising efforts. Whether advancing immunosuppressant management to wean transplant patients from anti-rejection drugs or seeking a cure for juvenile diabetes, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is expanding the research frontier with new and innovative therapies for the cure of childhood disease and disability. None of us want to have to make the journey here, but we want to know once we get there it is the most advanced and accessible option for our kids. I hope to be a part of the solution in treatment and care for anyone that needs to make that trip.

Description

As part of Team Children's, my participation in the 2022 Pittsburgh Marathon supports UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation. 

Funds support the patients and families served by UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Last year UPMC Children's Hospital had over 1 million patient visits and many of the programs, initiatives, and resources that make UPMC Children’s so special are funded by philanthropic gifts. Things like distraction therapy which provides patients something else to focus on during their medical procedures, the Child Life Department which provides many activities to create a sense of normalcy for hospitalized children, and the Free Care Fund which covers the cost of medical care for those that cannot afford it. These areas are not covered by insurance, yet are critically important to helping families face the many challenges that accompany a child’s treatment.

Please consider donating to support the patient champions at UPMC Children's! You can donate directly on this page or send a check to the address below and make a note that you are sponsoring my efforts.
