My Story…
Welcome to my fundraising page!
As many of you know, I have fundraised for the American Cancer Society DetermiNation Team in the past in honor of my late mom, Anita, who's battle with lung cancer ended nearly 11 years ago.
As with many, the end of the year brought about reflection, and while I have been extremely fortunate to experience personal success in the sport of running I was quickly anchored back to my "why". The reason I started this journey in the first place. That reason was to honor my mom and bring awareness and resources to the fight against cancer. This year I will be going back to where it all started and will be running the Pittsburgh Marathon the day after my birthday, not only for her, but in honor and support of anyone has been affected by the disease in one form or another.
Cancer doesn't quit, and neither should the fight.
Please consider a donation to aid in the fight. No amount is too small.

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.
