My Story…
I’m fundraising for the American Cancer Society because cancer has deeply touched my life. The importance of cancer research is personal to me — it’s the key to earlier detection, better treatments, and, ultimately, more survivors.
I’m doing this in honor of the incredible cancer survivors in my life whose strength inspires me every day, and in memory of those I’ve lost to cancer who continue to live on in my heart.
By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping fuel research, hope, and a future where fewer families face the pain of this disease. Thank you for standing with me and making a difference.
Description
Why I Am Participating in the Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend to Support the American Cancer Society
For the first time in history, the American Cancer Society's mission is at risk - including their ability to fund cancer research. The American Cancer Society needs to be here to help patients face cancer with comprehensive support, but they need our help to be able to do so. Every dollar will truly make a difference right now.
Taking part in this event gives me the chance to make a difference and honor those touched by cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research and services for people dealing with cancer. I'm also participating to inspire hope for those facing the disease and raising money for the American Cancer Society's event to help save lives from cancer. I hope you'll consider signing up too.
Funds raised support cancer patient programs and groundbreaking research that can help save lives. This event also celebrates over 15.5 million cancer survivors nationwide. 15.5 MILLION. That's huge. That's why I'd love your support. Will you join me? And if you can't would you be so kind as to make a donation?
DetermiNation is the American Cancer Society’s event endurance program, spanning a variety of sports including cycling, running, hiking, yoga, and more. The collective efforts of the dedicated athletes who use their fortitude to help raise funds to take down cancer are nothing short of amazing.
