My Story…
I am raising money for the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) to honor my late paternal grandfather, Zaverbhai Patel, who we lost to lung cancer. My grandfather was a resilient and noble man and I know he is cheering me on. I also want to honor my maternal grandmother, Pushpaben Patel, who is currently battling colon cancer and she truly is one of the strongest women I know.
The Philadelphia Half-Marathon will be my first half-marathon. My goal is to raise $1,000 to give back to AACR in the hopes of a future where no one has to lose their loved ones to cancer. AACR is a charity where over 90% of dollars donated go directly to funding research.
If you feel comfortable, please consider donating to my goal. Much love and many miles!
Donate to help Aekta raise money for Philadelphia Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
