My Story…
As my one last hurrah before leaving the Rangos Research Center to start medical school, I’ve elected to run the Pittsburgh Half Marathon for UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation. This group helps to fund labs and allows Children’s to remain as a top center for pediatric care and research. Our group is working on immunotherapies for pediatric gliomas and intraoperative imaging for neuroblastoma. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!!
Description
As part of Team Children's, my participation in the 2023 Pittsburgh Marathon supports UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation.
Funds support the patients and families served by UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Last year UPMC Children's Hospital had over 1 million patient visits and many of the programs, initiatives, and resources that make UPMC Children’s so special are funded by philanthropic gifts. Things like distraction therapy which provides patients something else to focus on during their medical procedures, the Child Life Department which provides many activities to create a sense of normalcy for hospitalized children, and the Free Care Fund which covers the cost of medical care for those that cannot afford it. These areas are not covered by insurance, yet are critically important to helping families face the many challenges that accompany a child’s treatment.
Please consider donating to support the patient champions at UPMC Children's! You can donate directly on this page or send a check to the address below and make a note that you are sponsoring my efforts.
