My Story…
Cancer hit me directly in 2020 when I found out I had neuroendocrine cancer. At first we thought it was just the pancreas. After several scans they discovered my stomach was covered with bumps all over the top half. So, I had my stomach and gallbladder removed in 2021 since my stomach was showing signs of being more aggressive and different looking. Thankfully I still get to run today! My pancreas is staying stable as well. So please help me raise funds to help support others going through their cancer battle and to create funds for more research. Let’s keep fighting and help support this awesome cause.

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?
