Help Shawn raise money

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

My Story…

I chose to Run for a Reason and raise money for UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation to give back to an organization that has helped my family so much. Our son was diagnosed with Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis several years ago. Through the care and treatment of the wonderful doctors and staff at UPMC Children's, he has been pain free for several years and living life like a normal 11 year old boy. I want to make sure other parents and children are also able to receive the top notch care that we continue to experience at Children's hospital.

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.
