My Story…
After a 1 year hiatus from running in the Pittsburgh half marathon, the itch is back and I am ready to begin my journey to complete this race again. Although one of the main goals is to compete and finish the race, the main reason I run is to honor my late mother-in-law Wenda and all of her beauty, humor, and grace that she passed on and bestowed upon my beautiful wife, and to continue raising funds and raising awareness for cancer research. This year I will again be representing the American Cancer Society. I am hoping to make Wenda proud, and to show my children you can do anything you set your mind to. Please consider donating to my cause as I run for a reason. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
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.
