My Story…

Hello Friends!

Roughly 5 years ago my mother was diagnosed with terminal stage cancer. Since then through endless appointments and obstacles she has been fighting the good fight! We are still holding strong. With that being said, without the help and guidance of our strong team of care providers, my mother would not be in the stable condition she is in fighting this how she is. So for this race I am fundraising to help families like ours and the programs that guide and support through the good and the bad of this journey! 

This is my very first marathon I will be running and it is fully dedicated to my mother and her caring team of specialists. I will be running in Pittsburgh on May 3rd- her birthday! Please share, donate, hug your family in her honor to help me celebrate life, this fight, and the community involved. 

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.
