My Story…

In loving memory of my mother, Shirley Haggerty, in effort to support cancer research (Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia). The staff at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia were true Angels, providing a level of care that was above and beyond. My mother was born on March 17 and loved to play slots, so it feels appropriate to celebrate her spirit with the number 777 that represents luck, prosperity, and honoring your intuition. 

I’ll be dedicating each mile of my journey to the brave individuals and beloved pets affected by cancer. May their resilience and light always shine. 💫

Donate to help Melinda raise money for 2025 Philadelphia Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
