My Story…
Hello, Friends! When I signed up to run the Pittsburgh Marathon on May 5th, I chose to "Run for a Reason," and raise money for one of the race's official charity partners. I selected the American Cancer Society, because almost everyone has a loved one who's been impacted by cancer, and this four star charity is doing amazing work in their fight against the disease. I realize that I'm very lucky in having the good health and support necessary to take on marathon training, and I'd like to make my journey to the finish line a little bigger than me. With your help, we can make a contribution towards good health.
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.
