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 27th, 2022 I am running the Philadelphia Love Half Marathon, and dedicating every mile to two things; the memory of my extraordinarily kind, hilarious, and vivacious Aunt Vicky who passed away nearly a decade ago after a valiant battle with cancer, and ensuring no current cancer patients in Philadelphia, or their families, go hungry or lose their homes. After seeing first hand just how difficult that battle can was for her, not only physically, but mentally and financially, I want to do anything I can to help ease the burden on local families fighting cancer.
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!
