Help Emily raise money

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

My Story…

Hey all, I’m running the Pittsburgh half marathon again this year in support of the Western PA Parkinson’s Foundation. This has become a tradition for me since my dad was diagnosed in 2016. A former marathoner himself, I grew up running with him, and he still manages to stay positive and active every day. Donations go to our local nonprofit, which is a direct and invaluable resource to my family, as well as many others in the area. 

This will be my first half since my ankle injury/surgery in 2022 (gotta love rock climbing). I was a little hesitant to announce my race too soon, but I’m feeling strong and ready to run. That said, this is gonna be a crunch time fundraiser. The race is coming up quick on May 4, so get your donations in! Thanks to all who are able to contribute!
