My Story…
I am proud to be running the 2023 Philadelphia Marathon to support the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).
In 2022, I took up running after a 21 year hiatus from pretty much anything resembling exercise in an attempt to live a healthier lifestyle and find more balance in my life. Starting small, I worked my way up to completing my first marathon (Indianapolis Monumental Marathon) last November.
After crossing the finish line, I knew immediately that I wanted to do it again, but next time with a bigger purpose.
I am running the 2023 Philadelphia Marathon (November 19) in memory of family members and friends that have bravely battled cancer and to help support the critical missions of the AACR.
To this end, I am fundraising for the AACR with the goal of raising $1000.
Please consider joining me in supporting this important organization by making a donation to the AACR — no amount is too small and the entirety of your donation goes to directly to supporting the AACR.
Thank you for considering making a donation today!
