Help me Activate the Cure!



I am running (maybe more of a slow jog at my age 🤣🤣) the Pittsburgh half marathon on May 3rd for the Emily Whitehead Foundation- supports childhood cancer research and access to advanced therapies for patients worldwide. 


I have run for this Charity in the past as Emily is the niece of a very dear friend of mine. 


Emily became the first child with cancer to receive CAR T-cell therapy. It was her last chance for survival. Emily is now cancer-free, a thriving college student and considered cured.


 You can support the foundation by donating to my run here with the donation link.  Please feel free to share the link if you would like. Thank you for helping to support the foundation !!🙏🏼 😊

Here is more on Emily’s story and the Foundation 👇🏼
