My Story…

Hi everyone! This year, I’m dedicating my half marathon to my father in law, Ron. Ron lived with Parkinson disease for many years before his passing in September, 2025. In memory of Ron, on May 3rd, I’ll be running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon to support the Parkinson Foundation of Western Pennsylvania (PFWPA). With your support, I can raise funds to help the PFWPA continue its honorable work. Any donation, big or small, is very much appreciated! 

Description

Parkinson Foundation Western Pennsylvania provides services, support and education for those living with Parkinson disease and their families.
