My Story…
Hey everyone!
This May, I will be participating in my first-ever marathon. I want to dedicate this run, all 26.2 miles of it, to the kindest, most compassionate man I've ever known.
My grandfather, Raymond Thomas Staruch, passed away in 2015 from pancreatic cancer. In memory of him, I will be running as part of team DetermiNation for the American Cancer Society.
I am grateful for this race and the opportunity it presents to honor those whose lives are affected by cancer. I hope you will consider donating. Any amount will make a world of difference.
Thank you for supporting me in the fight against cancer! This one's for you, Papa❤️
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?
