Help Becky raise money

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

My Story…

I have decided to do the Half Marathon again but this year, I’m raising money for The American Cancer Society. I’ll be walking in honor of my mom, Jeanne Pernesky; co-worker, Sara Wittmer; DAHS 1990 classmate, Melissa Wayne as well as countless other family members and friends who are currently fighting or have fought successfully against cancer.  I’ll be dedicating this Half-Marathon to my aunt, Apryl Pernesky, cousin, Stephanie Browne; childhood friend, Amy Haag; family friend, Tom Rafferty and many other family members and friends who lost their battle to cancer. Please help me reach my goal!

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.
