My Story…
This November, I’ll be running the Philadelphia Marathon — not just for the finish line, but for something much more meaningful.
I’ve joined the AACR Runners for Research team to raise money for cancer research — a cause that touches all of us in some way.
Whether it’s someone we love, someone we’ve lost, or someone still fighting, this mission matters deeply.
Training for 26.2 miles is tough, but I get to choose this challenge, and for that I'm so grateful.
My goal is to raise $1,000 to support the doctors, researchers, and scientists who are working every day to give people more time — more birthdays, more hugs, more love, and more life.
If you feel moved to support, I’d be so grateful. Every dollar helps, and every step I run will carry the names and stories of those we’re running for. (AB, CN, DN)
With SO much gratitude,
Maria
