I am beyond humbled and honored to combine my passions of running and volunteering with the special needs community to train with Destiny to complete her second marathon! I will run a leg of the marathon relay pushing an adaptive stroller, cheering Destiny on the whole time. 

Please consider partnering with Always B Smiling and Casey's Clubhouse/MLSH as we Run for a Reason!



Description

There are two incredible opportunities to support both Casey’s Clubhouse/Miracle League of the South Hills and Always B Smiling, each working toward empowering athletes like Destiny to achieve their dreams. Meet Destiny—a young athlete with a radiant smile and a zest for life. Born with special needs, she longed to cross the finish line of a marathon herself, a goal that once seemed impossible.

Casey’s Clubhouse/Miracle League of the South Hills Fundraiser

This year, Casey’s Clubhouse invites athletes and supporters of all levels to participate in various race events: the full marathon, half marathon, relay, 5K, Kid's Walk, Toddler Trot, and Pet Race. By running and raising funds for Casey’s Clubhouse/Miracle League of the Sout Hills, participants directly support athletes with special needs, helping provide accessible sports opportunities and inclusive community engagement.

Always B Smiling Partnership Fundraiser

In a special collaboration, Casey's Clubhouse/Miracle League of the South Hills AND Always B Smiling are raising funds to expand its adaptive stroller marathon program, which allows athletes like Destiny to experience the thrill of crossing the finish line. By running or supporting this program, donors help make marathons accessible for athletes who would otherwise watch from the sidelines.

The adaptive stroller relay teams are working together to raise funds for both amazing south hills programs. Last year, 6 athletes like Destiny took on the full marathon in their adaptive strollers, each feeling the power of community and inclusion.

This year, Destiny returns with her relay team, her heart set on another finish line. By supporting either Casey’s Clubhouse/Miracle League of the South Hills, Always B Smiling, or both, you’re joining a powerful community dedicated to making dreams possible.

Let's run together—every step supports a dream!

Your contribution to an adaptive stroller relay team will help us as we continue to grow and support programs for the kids and adults with special needs across the south hills of Pittsburgh and beyond.
