My Story…
If you knew Uncle Eric, then he probably had you laughing within the first few minutes of being around him. He was funny, caring, hard working, giving, and so loved, not just by my family, but by everyone who met him. He was an incredible athlete, an amazing uncle, and always ready and willing to have a beer after a round of golf. His diagnosis with cancer was hard on all of us, but through it all, he continued to keep us laughing.
On December 17th, Uncle Eric's hard fought battle with cancer came to an end, and it was a loss we will all feel forever.
On May 4th, I'll be running the Pittsburgh Marathon and raising money for the American Cancer Society in his honor. Your donations will help support continued research and will provide patient support services, such as rides to doctor's appointments and free accommodations for cancer patients traveling with caregivers.
Your support and donations are appreciated.

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.
