My Story…
My son, Jackson, was born with Down Syndrome. From the day he was born, he has brought joy to all who have met him. He has a curious nature, a kind spirit, and a contagious smile.
Jackson recently found a love for going fast. His autistic behaviors and physical abilities limit some of those opportunities. So Team Jackson will give Jackson an opportunity to participate in the 2024 Pittsburgh Marathon.
In a world where people are quick to tell you "you can't...," we want him to know that HE CAN. He can experience some of life's simplest joys - he can meet new people, he can connect with a crowd, and he can raise money for deserving charities all while feeling the wind in his hair.
Please consider supporting our mission. Our beneficiaries will be the Miracle League of the South Hills and Always B Smiling. We hold both charities close to our hearts as Jackson has participated in their events and has been able to create meaningful relationships with peers.
If you choose to join us that day either as a runner or a supporter, look for Jackson in the jogging stroller - he'll be the one winning your heart!
Donate to help Jill raise money for 2024 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
