My Story…

On November 23rd, I will be running the Philadelphia Marathon as a proud member of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Runners for Research Team, in loving memory of my dear friend, Dave Donovan, who passed away in June.

Dave was a devoted husband, father, and friend whose humor, kindness, and strength left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. In honoring his memory, I hope to support AACR’s vital mission to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, and advocacy. 

Every donation made in Dave’s name brings us one step closer to a world without cancer and helps ensure that others facing this disease have a fighting chance. Thank you for helping us celebrate Dave’s life and legacy in such a meaningful way.

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