Help Ellie raise money

For participating in Philadelphia Marathon Weekend

My Story…

Welcome to our fundraising page!

As part of our races (Ellie's running the half marathon and the 8K and Bill's running the 8K and the full marathon), we're proudly supporting again the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) who is finding cures for more than 200 types of cancer. With your help, we can make the AACR Philadelphia Marathon the largest run dedicated to cancer research in the U.S.!

We're running to make every step through Philadelphia a step towards a cure and truly appreciate any contributions you can make. We are again dedicating our race and fundraising to 4 friends/relatives that they lost to cancer way too young - his father Rink, his aunt Joanne Knight, his brother-in-law Stan Lyslo and a co-worker Kathy Belmore. 

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is on the front lines of the quest for new and innovative ways to understand, prevent, and cure cancer. We bring together the greatest minds in cancer science to defeat the more than 200 types of cancer. The AACR invites you to join us in imagining a world without cancer. More importantly, we invite you to join us in making it happen. Of every dollar donated, 88 cents goes to support lifesaving cancer research.

Thank you!    

Ellie and Bill
