My Story…
Cancer has touched my family in a way that so many others can relate to. This year, I'm honored to be running with Team Philly Fight Club to support the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), and I'm dedicating every mile to two people who will always hold a special place in my heart—my grandmother and my grandfather.
My grandmother lost her battle with colorectal cancer, and my grandfather passed away from pancreatic cancer. Watching the impact cancer had on our family is something I'll never forget. Although they're no longer with us, their love, strength, and the memories we shared continue to inspire me every day.
I've set a goal of raising $750 to support the AACR's mission of advancing lifesaving cancer research. Every dollar raised helps fund the scientists and research that bring us closer to better treatments, earlier detection, and, one day, cures.
No donation is too small. If you're able, consider donating just $1 for every mile I run. Or, if you prefer, a gift of $5, $10, $25, or any amount you're comfortable with will make a real difference. Every contribution helps move cancer research forward and brings hope to patients and families facing this disease. If donating isn't possible right now, sharing my fundraiser with your family and friends is another meaningful way to help.
Running this race is my way of honoring my grandparents and helping create hope for others. While I can't change what my family has been through, I can take action to support the research that could change someone else's future.
Thank you for supporting me, Team Philly Fight Club, and the American Association for Cancer Research. Your kindness and generosity mean so much, and I'm grateful to have you alongside me as I run in memory of my grandparents. Together, we can make a difference—one step, one mile, and one donation at a time. ❤️
