My Story…
On May 1st, 2022 I ran the Pittsburgh Half Marathon in two hours and 19 minutes! I was especially motivated because I ran in support of UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation. I am glad that my passion of running will benefit the mission of helping create healthier futures for children through life-changing care and cutting-edge research.
To help me reach my goal, I would much appreciate your sponsorship. To sponsor my fundraising you can submit a donation on my fundraising page before fundraising closes on May 31st.
Thank you for your support!
Description
As part of Team Children's, my participation in the 2022 Pittsburgh Marathon supports UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation.
Funds support the patients and families served by UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Last year UPMC Children's Hospital had over 1 million patient visits and many of the programs, initiatives, and resources that make UPMC Children’s so special are funded by philanthropic gifts. Things like distraction therapy which provides patients something else to focus on during their medical procedures, the Child Life Department which provides many activities to create a sense of normalcy for hospitalized children, and the Free Care Fund which covers the cost of medical care for those that cannot afford it. These areas are not covered by insurance, yet are critically important to helping families face the many challenges that accompany a child’s treatment.
Please consider donating to support the patient champions at UPMC Children's! You can donate directly on this page or send a check to the address below and make a note that you are sponsoring my efforts.
