My Story…
Hi everyone! I have signed up to run the UPMC Health Plan Pittsburgh Half Marathon in May. This is my first half marathon so I'm super excited! I have chosen to fundraise for the American Cancer Society for this event. I chose this organization in honor of my grandmother, Pauline Cassis Skaff, who died of breast cancer over 15 years ago. This money will go towards research and treatment of patients with cancer. Please consider donating and helping me reach my goal. Thank you!
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?
