My Story…
I am excited to participate in my first half marathon in Pittsburgh on Sunday, May 5, 2024. I am proudly fundraising for the UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation. As a mom of two, I am so thankful for the groundbreaking research, treatment, care, and cures they provide for all children. Please help me meet my funding goal for the UMPC Children’s Hospital Foundation and support their continued life-changing medical care for children!
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.
