My Story…
Hi friends!
This year, I’m once again running to raise money for the American Cancer Society, supporting groundbreaking cancer research. In just my own family, we’ve had two loved ones face cancer this year — a powerful reminder of how deeply this disease touches all of us.
Now more than ever, it’s vital that we champion science and the life-saving progress being made every day. I’m incredibly grateful that many friends and family members are still with us today thanks to advances in cancer treatment — the direct result of continued research and support.
That’s why I’ve dedicated my marathon run this year to this cause. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps fund critical research and brings us one step closer to a world without cancer. Your support truly makes a difference — and means the world to me.
Thank you.
Love, Matt
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.
