My Story…
Excited to register for the Pittsburgh 1/2 marathon again this year. I am again running to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Last year my twin sister, Heidi and I ran our first ever 1/2 marathon and we raised over $1100. Heidi is a cancer survivor-beating Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2005. I can't think of a better way to celebrate her 20 years as a cancer survivor than doing this event together! This year she is going all out and is running the full. I can't wait to watch her cross the finish line. She is an inspiration to cancer survivors everywhere. Please help me raise money for this wonderful cause, so others like her can beat this disease and go on to do amazing and wonderful things. Thank you for your support.

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.
