My Story…
A beautiful soul friend of mine, Jen, recently passed from cancer. She was a beloved daughter, sister and wonderful mother of two young children, Addison and Carson, ages 15 and 10.
She was also a fierce warrior who fought until she could see her daughter become a teenager and her son’s recent birthday.
Please help me honor her spirit in the fight against cancer by donating to the American Cancer Society, per her request. I will be running in the 2024 Pittsburgh Marathon in her name. I hope to Qualify for the “back half” marathon by becoming a top fundraiser. I will be able to run through my home neighborhood.
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?
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.
