My Story…

Hi everyone, welcome to my donation page!

My current goal is to raise $400, but I would potentially like to raise that goal closer to the half-marathon date!

In order to continue to motivate myself in my training, I would love to dedicate this run to this specific non-profit organization:

UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation: Attending the University of Pittsburgh, UPMC is very close to home to me. This cause is deeply meaningful to me because every child deserves access to world-class healthcare, no matter their circumstances. By running, I hope to raise awareness and funds that will directly benefit young patients and their families, giving them hope and healing. This challenge is not just about personal achievement but about making a difference in the lives of children who need it most. If I reach my intended goal and complete the half-marathon, I can walk past UPMC with my head high and smile, knowing I was able to support child healthcare. 

Thank you so much for your generosity and I hope to make this a successful half-marathon experience!

Description

As part of Team Children's, my participation in the 2023 Pittsburgh Marathon supports UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation. 

Funds support the patients and families served by UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Last year UPMC Children's Hospital had over 1 million patient visits and many of the programs, initiatives, and resources that make UPMC Children’s so special are funded by philanthropic gifts. Things like distraction therapy which provides patients something else to focus on during their medical procedures, the Child Life Department which provides many activities to create a sense of normalcy for hospitalized children, and the Free Care Fund which covers the cost of medical care for those that cannot afford it. These areas are not covered by insurance, yet are critically important to helping families face the many challenges that accompany a child’s treatment.

Please consider donating to support the patient champions at UPMC Children's! You can donate directly on this page or send a check to the address below and make a note that you are sponsoring my efforts.
