Help Stef raise money

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

My Story…

As you probably know, I was diagnosed with MS in 2010.  After various therapies, God has blessed me with renewed health through effective medication and exercise.  I keep moving because it simply helps me feel better.   I am grateful that my MS is stable, and that I can keep moving with distance running as a charity runner.  Exercise has proven to help improve strength and decrease fatigue in people living with Multiple Sclerosis.  This is definitely true!

Please consider supporting me in a very NEW race for me, the Pittsburgh Half Marathon (back half).  A live event, the "back half" is an exclusive event through the Pittsburgh Marathon, where I will get to run the back half of the full marathon course. 

My personal goal is to raise $4000 (reach high!) because I am dedicated to supporting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, a non-profit whose vision is bold, "A world free of MS."  For more information, visit https://www.nationalmssociety.org/.

In 2021, I ran 1166 miles.  Most were for the fun of it, stress relief, and fresh air.  Only a small number were in a race, although my favorite race last year was the (virtual) Pittsburgh Marathon for MS.  In the past two years, I have raised over $6K for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Please help me to reach my three-year goal of $10K+ in total fundraising to end MS.

Run and have fun!  Finish MS!  Finish 13.1!
