My Story…
I have decided to run the Pittsburgh Half Marathon this year in honor of my Dad, Grandma, and Aunt Judy who have all lost their battle to cancer. With the recent loss of my dad I have used running as a coping mechanism and decided to work towards my goal of running a half marathon. This disease has caused extreme grief within my family and my hope is that one day there are better treatments that prevent this grief from burdening others. I am also running for those who have been personally impacted or know someone with this devastating disease. Please consider donating to my chosen charity of the American Cancer Society and helping me reach my goal to support cancer research, patient support, prevention information and education, and detection and treatment. Thank you for your support and i'll see you at the finish line! :)
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?
