My Story…

am participating in DICK’S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend of Events from Friday May 1st through Sunday May 3rd.  On Saturday May 2nd, I am running the UPMC Health Plan / UPMC Sports Medicine 5K to benefit UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation.  Our son Andrew has been a patient at Children’s Hospital since birth, so their foundation is near and dear to my heart.  Any donation, even $1, is greatly appreciated and goes to a wonderful cause.  Thank you.

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.
