My Story…
This year, after 15 years of running in the Pittsburgh Marathon for various charities, myself, Ellie (3rd year) and Brady (1st year) are dedicating our runs to Rush to Crush Cancer in honor of two close people currently battling this disease, and we would greatly appreciate your support in raising funds for this cause. Unfortunately like many others cancer has affected us personally and two people in our lives that mean the world to us are currently battling this ugly illness. Therefore, this year all donations and our run will be in honor of them. Please support us and all those who battle cancer each and every day. We want to thank you for your support and those who continue to support us year after year!
A little bit about the charity:
Every dollar raised and donation to Rush to Crush Cancer will help UPMC Hillman Cancer Center advance its research mission, which extends beyond bench research to include community prevention and screening programs, addressing healthcare disparities, expanding access to clinical trials, and recruiting world-class talent. Your donation is directly improving the lives of patients, their families, and the community - not just in Pittsburgh, but around the world.
Thank you for helping us achieve UPMC Hillman Cancer Center’s vision of life without cancer.
Rush to Crush Cancer is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your donation is tax deductible.
