My Story…
Hi everyone! For another year, I will be running to raise money for UPMC Children's Hospital, a cause close to my heart. Before starting medical school, I ran the Pittsburgh Marathon hoping the dedication and endurance I developed would help me in school. After my first year in school, I ran the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia, raising money for the American Cancer Society. This year, now halfway through medical school and returning to the 'burgh, it feels only fitting to run the Pittsburgh Half while fundraising for the hospital that has taken care of me and many others. The children and I would appreciate any donations. Thank you!!
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.
