For the sixth year, this September 13th and 14th, I will climb the Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art for 24 hours straight as one of Legacy of Hope’s sponsored 24-hour athletes in the 8th annual PHL24 endurance event.   

This year, the Brown’s Super Stores PHL24 in 2025 fundraising goal is $250,000.  The goal is bold because our patients' needs are critical. With your support, achieving this goal will enable us to raise the money needed to continue making progress on the David N. April Emergency Patient Support Center and to provide critical support for cancer patients and families across Philadelphia and Camden when all other resources have been exhausted. While this journey won’t be easy,  our commitment and resolve are unwavering.  

In 2020, I began this journey when my friend Trevor stopped me and asked, "Hey want to do this crazy thing where we climb the stairs for 24 hours to raise money?" Without hesitation, I said yes. Throughout the next several months, we trained, and I learned more about Legacy of Hope and the huge impact that they have on the community. Unfortunately, Trevor lost his own battle with cancer not long after, but Team Trevor continues to climb in his honor, ensuring that Legacy of Hope will continue to be funded. 

Check out Legacy of Hope's Emergency Patient Support Network which is literally changing lives and providing hope everyday. To date we’ve prevented hunger for over 7,700 cancer patients and family members living in Philadelphia.

I am grateful for your support.
