My Story…
Ellie and I are participating in Philadelphia Marathon Weekend (November 22-23) again this year. Ellie is running the half-marathon and 8K on Saturday; while I am running the half-marathon and 8K as well as the full marathon on Sunday. We're proudly supporting again the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) who is finding cures for more than 200 types of cancer. With your help, we can make the AACR Philadelphia Marathon the largest run dedicated to cancer research in the U.S.!
We're running to make every step through Philadelphia a step towards a cure and truly appreciate any contribution you can make. We are again dedicating our race and fundraising to friends and relatives that we lost to cancer way too young including- my father, my aunt Joanne Knight, my brother-in-law Stan Lyslo and my co-worker Kathy Belmore. We are also fundraising for the many cancer survivors who are counting on ongoing research to find a permanent cure, including Mary who fought off bladder cancer in the Spring of '24.
The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is on the front lines of the quest for new and innovative ways to understand, prevent, and cure cancer. They bring together the greatest minds in cancer science to defeat the more than 200 types of cancer. The AACR invites you to join us in imagining a world without cancer. More importantly, we invite you to join us in making it happen. Of every dollar donated, 88 cents goes to support lifesaving cancer research.
Donate to help Bill raise money for 2025 Philadelphia Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
