Help Stephanie raise money

For participating in 2023 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

I have the best, most rewarding job in the world. However, it's impossible to do this alone...

I've witnessed the hopeless become hopeful. I've watched depressed, isolated individuals meet peers who are now lifelong friends. I've had some of the most uplifting and heartbreaking conversations with young adult cancer survivors and their caregivers as they give everything they have to survive and LIVE their lives.

As I run the half-marathon on May 7th, I run for them and their families. I run for those who are united up above. I run for those who can't run because of cancer and the short and long-term side effects it has caused. And I run with the 28 individuals who also chose to run for YASU this year. 

Every dollar donated will allow us the opportunities to help more. Look at our new website and all that we offer.

From the very bottom of my heart, I thank you for the ongoing support and believing in our mission and impact.
