My Story…
I am very excited to announce that I am running the 2026 Pittsburgh half marathon to support the American Cancer Society!🎗️❤️ There have been several individuals in my life whom I hold close to my heart that have been affected by cancer; some who are current fighters and some who are now angels watching over me. Regardless of their journeys, one thing that never waivers is their strength and resilience. During my schooling, I also had the opportunity to work on an oncology unit. The bravery and motivation of my patients truly inspired me to do anything I can in my life to make a difference in theirs.
This organization not only funds research for a cure, but also directly supports patients and their families during difficult times. The need for research and support for this community of fighters is evident. Although the race is only one day, your donation could change someone’s life.

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.
