My Story…
When I see how far Madison has come throughout her health journey, I can't think about where she would be if it weren't for the amazing doctors, nurses, and staff that we have encountered along the way at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. That's why I am incredibly excited to run the upcoming 2027 Pittsburgh Half Marathon in support of the hospital that has given us SO much.
Please help me in supporting the kids who are on their own journey right now at the hospital. Let's raise a little money that the hospital can use to give these kids and their families some hope that they WILL reach that light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you in advance for all of your support!
Description
As part of Team Children's, my participation in the 2026 Pittsburgh Marathon supports UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation.
Funds support the patients and families served by UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Last year UPMC Children's Hospital had over 1 million patient visits and many of the programs, initiatives, and resources that make UPMC Children’s so special are funded by philanthropic gifts. Things like distraction therapy which provides patients something else to focus on during their medical procedures, the Child Life Department which provides many activities to create a sense of normalcy for hospitalized children, and the Free Care Fund which covers the cost of medical care for those that cannot afford it. These areas are not covered by insurance, yet are critically important to helping families face the many challenges that accompany a child’s treatment.
