Hi Everyone!

My name is Emma Gold and I am a first year medical student in Philly! On March 29th, 2026, I am running the Philadelphia Love Run Half Marathon and dedicating every mile to ensuring no cancer patients in Philadelphia or their families go hungry or lose their homes. As a future healthcare provider, I am running my first half marathon for my future patients and their families. I am also running for anyone whos lives have been impacted by cancer.

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

A little bit about background on what we are fundraising for:

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. 

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

Thank you so much for your support! Anything helps and is much appreciated :)
