My Story…

This November, I am running the Philly Half Marathon to support the AACR (American Association for Cancer Research). 

Cancer has affected people in my family and among my friends, and it’s hard not to feel angry and upset for everyone who has been affected or lost someone they love. 

Running has become an important part of how I take care of myself, and training for this half marathon has given me a greater appreciation for my health. On each run I am reminded that my health is something worth fighting for. That's why I've joined Team Fight Club to support AACR's mission of advancing cancer research. 

The AACR has invested more than $551 million in research grants and continues to support promising research, including work that may not otherwise have an easy path to funding. Their research is moving us closer to better ways of preventing, detecting, and treating cancer. Supporting the AACR is a way for me to help advance the work of an organization that helps so many people.

Thank you for your consideration in donating and helping turn my love for running into an opportunity to give back.
