My Story…
Everyone knows someone who's been effected by cancer. Whether it's a parent, grandparent, spouse, friend or family member; we all know someone. It doesn't matter their age, sex or background; it effects people of all walks of life. This is my second year running for ACS and I can't imagine a better cause. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2010 and I am so, so happy to say that she is here, healthy and in remission 13 years later. The American Cancer Society not only funds research efforts but provides advocacy and patient support services.
Description
Why I Am Participating in the Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend to Support the American Cancer Society
For the first time in history, the American Cancer Society's mission is at risk - including their ability to fund cancer research. The American Cancer Society needs to be here to help patients face cancer with comprehensive support, but they need our help to be able to do so. Every dollar will truly make a difference right now.
Taking part in this event gives me the chance to make a difference and honor those touched by cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research and services for people dealing with cancer. I'm also participating to inspire hope for those facing the disease and raising money for the American Cancer Society's event to help save lives from cancer. I hope you'll consider signing up too.
Funds raised support cancer patient programs and groundbreaking research that can help save lives. This event also celebrates over 15.5 million cancer survivors nationwide. 15.5 MILLION. That's huge. That's why I'd love your support. Will you join me? And if you can't would you be so kind as to make a donation?
