My Story…
Although, I may have moved back to central PA, I will be back in the Burgh again for Marathon weekend participating in the 5K to raise funds for the Mario Lemieux Foundation! This foundation supports a cause that is very close to my heart, funding vital research, patient care, and support for families facing challenging medical situations like cancer. I’ll be running again in support of finding a cure.
I was fortunate to surpass my $150 goal again last year, so this year I’m aiming to raise $175. Any donation, big or small, would be truly appreciated. Thank you for your support!
Description
Please donate to help me raise money for the Mario Lemieux Foundation as part of the 2026 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Run for a Reason program!
Since their founding in 1993, the Mario Lemieux Foundation has been focused on finding a cure for cancer by funding research and patient care, and supporting families in challenging medical situations. Through ongoing projects at the Mario Lemieux Center for Blood Cancers, the Mario Lemieux Lymphoma Center, the Mario Lemieux Immunotherapy Center, and the recently established Mario Lemieux Center for Heart Rhythm Care, we support research that translates to clinical trails and innovative therapies that save lives.
