My Story…
Hi! Thank you so much for your consideration on donating on my behalf for the ACS. I started running in 2022 as a way to support my father when he was going through treatments for his lymphoma. He had a difficult time breathing and struggled to move freely physically. I made a promise to my father that every time he did a treatment I would run as many miles as he chose. I then decided to do races for fun like 5ks and then 10ks and then half marathons! This race is extra special to me because I get to raise this money in honor of him. My father has since passed (2024) but I believe he is still cheering me on in Heaven. I appreciate greatly for any amount. My heart goes to all the families that have had to deal with the heartbreak of cancer. One step to one mile at a time we create a ripple effect.
Love, Juliana
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.
