Help Samantha raise money

For participating in Philadelphia Marathon Weekend

My Story…

Thank you so much for visiting my page! Last year, I ran my first ever half marathon (13.1 miles) to raise money for cancer research. I ran the Philadelphia Half Marathon as part of the Runners for Research team in honor of my Aunt Jill who passed away in 2021 from a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma. This year, I am running my first full marathon (26.2 miles) in honor of my Aunt Jill again, as well as my other family members who have lost their lives to cancer. Jill was a physical therapist who always cared for people and animals in need. She was full of energy—traveling, going to concerts and country line dancing. I want to carry on both her energy and incredible spirit! Thank you for reading this and thank you for donating to the American Association  of Cancer Research. 

Donate to help Samantha raise money for Philadelphia Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
