My Story…
I am excited to be back again running the Akron Marathon to raise money for the Melina Michelle Edenfield Foundation!
As you know, this is a cause that is very close to my heart.
All proceeds from the event go directly to finding a cure for DMG pediatric brain tumors.
Childhood cancer research is severely underfunded, receiving less than 3% of all money raised for cancer research. Less than 1% of that total goes toward pediatric brain tumor funding, equating to only $500 per child diagnosed.
With your help we can not only raise awareness, but to further fund the necessary research efforts in hopes of saving these wonderful children.
Thanks!
Donate to help Paul raise money for 2026 FirstEnergy Akron Marathon, Half Marathon, & Team Relay’s fundraising campaign.
