My Story…
I am so excited to officially announce that I am running the Pittsburgh DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon with American Cancer Society. Cancer is something everyone has their own story with, myself included.
This is so important to me because I am currently in school to become a nurse, and oncology is one of the fields I’m most passionate about. Being able to run for a charity means I get to bring together two things that matter deeply to me - running and helping others - all for a cause bigger than myself. ![]()

I’m not just running a race, I’m running for hope, for strength, and for everyone affected by cancer. This journey is bigger than miles and finish lines. If you’d like to stand with me and support this cause, it would mean the world.
Donate, share, whatever you can do is helpful to those families going though the toughest times of their lives.
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.
