My Story…

Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. I’m reaching out to ask for your support in the fight against cancer. This year, I’m running in the 2025 Philadelphia Half Marathon with the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) as the title sponsor. I’ve joined their Runners for Research team to help raise funds for cancer research, and I need your help.

The AACR’s goal this year is to raise $600,000, which will directly support their mission to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication, collaboration, science policy and advocacy, and funding for groundbreaking cancer research. 88 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to support these lifesaving efforts.

I am personally dedicating this run to my mother, who I lost to devastating cancer in 2019. I will run in her honor and for everyone who has been affected by this disease. We all have a responsibility to contribute to the fight against cancer, and we all know someone whose life has been touched by it.

Your support will make a real difference, and I am truly grateful for any contribution you can make. My cause is for my mom—what is yours?

Respectfully,

Daniel Burgess
