My Story…
Three years ago I ran this race to raise money for best friend who was battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. After chemo and radiation, I am happy to report that she is cancer-free and doing well! I am going to run this race again in 2022 to celebrate her victory over cancer, but also to support all of those who are currently fighting. With additional funding and research, I am hopeful to hear many more success stories like that of my dear friend. Please consider making a donation, no matter how small. Every bit counts!
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?
