Help Kiki raise money

For participating in 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

Dear friends and family,

Almost a year ago I made a fundraising page for the Finish MS foundation for my half-marathon run. I met a great guy who told me he has to struggle with the daily reality of MS, and I was running a half marathon so I figured I would raise some money; we raised $705,14! Thank you so much to everyone who donated last year!

My 2024 fundraising page was a bit silly, as Mike and I had only been seeing each other for a little while - so I was awkwardly ambiguous as to who this person was I was raising money for... 

You might saw it coming then, and indeed this year I can unambiguously say:

I am raising money in honour of my amazing, sweet, kind, generous and loving boyfriend Mike <3 We actually made our relationship official on the day of the Pittsburgh 2024 marathon, after Mike had to pick me up from the medics tent because I nearly passed out as I came over the finish line. 

Okay enough with the story telling. Let's get to business: I am running again. This time I'm running the full marathon! I will learn from my mistakes and be safe, don't worry. But never mind me, that's not the important part. The important part is that you can help the MS foundation fund research into MS so that knowledge regarding the disease can continue to grow and and medicines can be developed that let Mikey and others with MS live a life with minimal pain and discomfort. If you want to know more about the foundation you can check out their website: https://www.nationalmssociety.org

Thank you so much for your donation if you're able to contribute something. Any amount helps of course, and will be massively appreciated by me and Mikey! 


P.S. If you’re interested in following along my training, you can follow me on Strava ;) https://strava.app.link/pOflWbBcQRb
