I Run for Those Who Cannot...

The goal is simple: ensure families in Philadelphia with a loved one fighting cancer never go hungry again. 

In September 2021 my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Terrified is an understatement but I knew I had to remain strong.  As she went through surgery and chemo, her strength was invigorating, and little did she know she was helping me through.  Her fight motivated me even more to continue to help others with health and fitness.  This journey has encouraged me to do my part in finding a cure and helping cancer patients and their family anyway I can.  I pray God brings you healing, strength, courage, peace, and comfort.  My continued fight is for anyone who has lost their battle and those still fighting this ugly disease. 

On March 24, 2024 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. 

I promise to train and race hard, but I need your support. If you are able to, please support me as I train and run in this race. Every dollar helps. 

Spread the word: Philadelphia cancer patients and their families do not go hungry!
