Help CATHERINE raise money

For participating in 2024 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

Dear friends, family, and fellow supporters,


As I lace up my running shoes and prepare to hit the pavement, I am filled with a sense of purpose. This race isn’t just about miles and minutes, it’s about something far greater – the health and well-being of women everywhere.


Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation is at the heart of my journey. Why? Because they are architects of change, the guardians of progress, and the champions of women’s health. Here’s why I’m running for Magee:


1. Empowering Women: MWRI doesn’t just study diseases; they empower women with knowledge. They believe that informed women make healthier choices, advocating for their own well-being, and shape healthier communities.


2. Breaking Barriers: MWRI shatters glass ceilings. They delve into the intricacies of reproductive health, maternal care, and neonatal medicine. Their research isn’t confined to labs; it spills into hospitals, clinics, and homes, touching lives in profound ways.


3. Advancing Science: MWRI isn’t satisfied with the status quo. They ask bold questions, seek innovative solutions, and push boundaries. Their work isn’t just about today; it’s about generations to come.


4. Celebrating Resilience: Every woman has a story – a tale of strength, resilience, and courage. MWRI honors those stories. They celebrate the triumphs, acknowledge the struggles, and amplify the voices of women who deserve to be heard.


Join me in this journey. Donate, cheer, and spread the word.

With gratitude,

Dr. Catherine Brisland
