Help Brittany raise money

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

My Story…

I'm training for the 2023 Pittsburgh Half Marathon.  I haven't run a race since before the girls were born, so it seems fitting to raise money for Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation.  

I spent several weeks living at Magee Womens Hospital before Annalise was born due to a potentially lethal combination of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes.  Annalise was born 4 weeks early on 12/1 (my dad's birthday, and the significance of my fundraising goal!) due to the worsening of my pree into HELLP Syndrome. She was in great shape; me, not so much.  I credit the team at Magee and the research of the Foundation with getting me back to health.  

Their care and expertise helped me stay (somewhat) sane during my pregnancy with Rosie, and when I developed high blood pressure after her birth, I knew I was in good hands.

The combination of small children, c-sections, and the pandemic basically erased running from my life.  I signed up for this race on the day after Thanksgiving 2022, and have been doing my best to train consistently while juggling two little girls and a job that demand a lot from me. 

I appreciate any monetary support, and even more importantly, your good vibes and inspiration to keep me going.  This is will be my most challenging race ever.
