Our story…
In December our dad was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and in January started chemotherapy. He is currently being treated at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, specifically at the Mario Lemieux Center for Blood Cancers. In support of our dad, we are running the Pittsburgh Marathon Relay. Our team (Team Chris’s Remission Mission) consists of 5 people who are major supporters and important people to our dad (Christopher Tamasy, Stephanie Tamasy, Jodie Shearer, Alyssa Brown, and Kirk Brown). We are running under the broader umbrella of Team Lemieux which supports the Mario Lemieux Foundation. The Mario Lemieux Foundation supports cancer research (including the Mario Lemieux Center for Blood Cancers), patient care, and Austin’s Playrooms. Please consider donating to support our dad, for a great cause, and to support our team as we run the relay for Team Chris’s Remission Mission!

A message from Chris Tamasy: “Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. I cannot express how grateful I am for your support. Thank you to my wife, my kids, my family and friends, and all the medical staff that has taken great care of me during this struggle in my life. I am fighting hard and I am not letting cancer beat me. Your donation is much appreciated and makes you a member of ‘Team Chris’s Remission’. I could not do this without all of you!”
Description
Please donate to help us raise money for the Mario Lemieux Foundation as part of the 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Run for a Reason program!
Since their founding in 1993, the Mario Lemieux Foundation has been focused on finding a cure for cancer by funding research and patient care, and supporting families in challenging medical situations. Through ongoing projects at the Mario Lemieux Center for Blood Cancers, the Mario Lemieux Lymphoma Center, the Mario Lemieux Immunotherapy Center, and the recently established Mario Lemieux Center for Heart Rhythm Care, we support research that translates to clinical trails and innovative therapies that save lives.
