I Run for Those Who Cannot...

On March 26th, 2023 I am running the Philadelphia Love Half Marathon, and dedicating every mile to ensuring no cancer patients in Philadelphia, or their families, go hungry or lose their homes. Each week families across Philadelphia with a loved one fighting cancer go hungry, and without the Emergency Patient Support Network, countless cancer patients in Philadelphia will continue facing hunger. Legacy of Hope created the Emergency Patient Support Network in partnership with Philadelphia hospitals to quickly identify financially disadvantaged Philadelphia cancer patients, and provide emergency support; preventing hunger and homelessness. 

A little more than two years ago, I lost a close friend of mine, Robbie, to AML Leukemia. My goal now is to help any family that has to experience a loved one diagnosed with cancer. I ran the half marathon last year, and this year I wanted to have more of a purpose in doing so. This year, I will be running wearing Robbie's lacrosse and football number #12, and my goal is to raise $1310 in honor of his birthday (3/10).
