My Story…
Since 2019, I have lost three of my grandparents—the most recent this past July—to this horrific disease. Each of them played such an important role in my life, and their absence is felt in every milestone they should have been here to see, with many more still to come. In their honor, I am running in the UPMC Health Plan/UPMC Sports Medicine Pittsburgh 5K and supporting all those who have lost their battle with cancer. Nothing compares to what cancer patients and their families go through. Any donation will help provide the American Cancer Society with critical funding for research and support efforts to find a cure for everyone battling cancer. Thank you for supporting a cause that means so much to me.

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.
