My Story…
Hi everyone! This year I will be running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon on May 5th. I will be running for the American Cancer Society in honor of my late Grandmother Betty Abraham and late Grandfather Bill Edwards, both of whom lost battles against lung cancer.
The experience of losing a loved one to cancer is all too common and with 2 million projected new cancer cases in 2024, this will continue to be the case.
Your donation will help with research in decreasing the mortality rate of cancer and hopefully to find a cure.
Thank you and wish me luck for May 5th!
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?
DetermiNation is the American Cancer Society’s event endurance program, spanning a variety of sports including cycling, running, hiking, yoga, and more. The collective efforts of the dedicated athletes who use their fortitude to help raise funds to take down cancer are nothing short of amazing.
