My Story…
For the 2025 Pittsburgh 5k, I will be raising money for the Magee-Women's Research Institute & Foundation. In November 2024, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, yet it remains under-researched and often misunderstood. This condition can lead to a wide range of health challenges, including hormonal imbalances, infertility, metabolic issues, and increased risk for diabetes and heart disease.
Despite its prevalence, PCOS - and many other women's health issues - receives disproportionately low research funding. This limits advancements in treatment options, early diagnosis, and comprehensive care for those affected.
By contributing to this fundraiser, you're not just supporting me in this race; you are championing the need for better understanding and care for women everywhere. Together, we can help ensure that women's health research gets the attention is deserves.
Please help me run towards a world with more research in women's health. Thank you so much!
Donate to help Kathryn raise money for 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
