My Story…
Want to join me in supporting a good cause? I'm running my first ever half-marathon in the hopes that I can do some good and raise money for American Cancer Society, something that means a lot to me because of my Papa’s and uncle’s long-time and insidious battle with cancer. Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. We’ve all known someone impacted by this persistent and malignant disease, whether it’s your parent, your grandparent, a friend from your hometown, or even your child. Your donation would go toward finding new answers for people who have run out of options or access to treatment, and with it, the chance to live, for those who otherwise couldn’t afford it. Thank you so much for your support, as this cause means a lot to me. I've included information about American Cancer Society below.
The American Cancer Society is leading the fight for a world without cancer. We’re finding cures and doing so much more.
• We’re supporting patients with free lodging near hospitals, free rides to treatment, and our live 24/7 cancer helpline.
• We’re providing information, tools and services to help people cope with the challenges and questions that come with a cancer diagnosis.
• We’re making breakthroughs in research and urging lawmakers to improve access to care. ($25,977,250 in cancer research comes from the American Cancer Society’s donations!!!)
When it comes to cancer, we are the only organization attacking from every angle.
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?
