Help Emily raise money

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

My Story…

Hey all I am back at to this year to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association in memory of my mother Maggie. If you knew Maggie you know what a vibrant cheerful positive person she was and how devastating her journey with Alzheimer’s was for our family. We watched her slip away from au for over a decade before she was finally at peace.  But we choose to remember her as the beautiful mother, wife, friend, grandmother and teacher and soo much more that she was to all who crossed her path.  If you never got to meet  Maggie you should recognize her from your times with me.  My passion for cooking and entertaining, singing along with music or just singing my thoughts out loud, gardening, going to any and all performing arts events and exploring new things are all a direct result of being raised by Maggie.  So as I run through the city that Maggie helped all her kids explore this year I will honor her curiousity and love of being outdoors.  I hope you will consider making a donation to help me reach my goal. In memory of Maggie and in honor of the legacy she gave us.
