My Story…
🏃♂️ I'm Running the Pitt Marathon – And I Need Your Help! 🏃♀️
This year, I’m not just running for the challenge.
I’m running for the families who walk through the doors of UPMC Children’s Hospital every day — families like my girlfriend’s, who I've had the privilege to walk alongside recently.
Their journey has opened my eyes to how much love, strength, and support it takes to get through tough times — and how much of that support comes from people like you.
UPMC Children’s Hospital is a lifeline for thousands of kids and their families. The care they provide is powered in part by donations, and I want to give back — one mile at a time.
🎯 Help me reach my goal!
Every dollar raised helps UPMC Children’s continue giving hope, healing, and world-class care to kids who need it most.
💛 No donation is too small.
Your support means more than you know — to me, to the families, and especially to the kids.
Description
As part of Team Children's, my participation in the 2026 Pittsburgh Marathon supports UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation.
Funds support the patients and families served by UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Last year UPMC Children's Hospital had over 1 million patient visits and many of the programs, initiatives, and resources that make UPMC Children’s so special are funded by philanthropic gifts. Things like distraction therapy which provides patients something else to focus on during their medical procedures, the Child Life Department which provides many activities to create a sense of normalcy for hospitalized children, and the Free Care Fund which covers the cost of medical care for those that cannot afford it. These areas are not covered by insurance, yet are critically important to helping families face the many challenges that accompany a child’s treatment.
Please consider donating to support the patient champions at UPMC Children's! You can donate directly on this page or send a check to the address below and make a note that you are sponsoring my efforts.
