My Story…
In May 2025, I will be running the Pittsburgh Marathon in support of the American Cancer Society. My family, friends, and many others have been impacted by cancer whether through a diagnosis, being a caregiver, going through remission, being a survivor, or loss.
The American Cancer Society supports those with cancer, as well as their families, friends, and others around them. The ACS is an advocate for care, ongoing research, numerous support systems, prevention, and survivors.
I chose to run for the American Cancer Society because I believe that those going through the affects of cancer should never feel alone and be provided with the best resources possible to continuously feel supported.
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.
