I Run for Those Who Cannot...

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

On March 30th, 2025 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. 

My family’s world was completely turned upside down when we learned my father had stage 4 lymphoma, and even more so after his passing earlier this year. Though it was an incredibly difficult time, we were fortunate to have a strong support system around us, which allowed us to focus on what truly mattered without the burden of additional worries. This race is dedicated to my dad and to families facing similar struggles. I’m running to honor his memory and to help support others in need.

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!
