My Story…
Since 2018 I have participated in the Pittsburgh Half Marathon. I decided to run initially to challenge myself and more importantly to honor my late mother-in-law Wenda. She was always such a strong individual and a loving mother. She raised a woman who is just as strong and beautiful that I have the pleasure of calling my wife and now the mother of our beautiful baby girl Adeline and our son Maddox. This year is even more important to me as I am now a father of two. I want to always set a good example for my children and shine a light on goodwill and compassion. I am running this year for my kids and for Wenda. I am running again for the American Cancer Society in her honor. I wish she was here physically but know she is watching over all of us as our guardian angel. Any donation is appreciated and every dollar counts. Thank you all!
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?
