I'm running a half marathon for those who cannot.

The goal is simple: ensure families in Philadelphia with a loved one fighting cancer never go hungry again...and survive 13.1 miles.

On March 27th, 2022, I'll be running the Philadelphia Love Half Marathon.  Each mile will go to the families of cancer patients in Philadelphia.

Healthcare is expensive in America. Each week, families across Philadelphia with a loved one fighting cancer go hungry. 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 to prevent hunger and homelessness. 

I promise to train and race hard, but I need your support.

ABOUT Love Run - Philly Runs Free 2022

 


Legacy of Hope, like most other organizations, has been impacted by the current events, economic downturn, and event cancellations, yet Legacy of Hope refuses to scale back its emergency patient support operations because a resulting loss of life will never be an option.

Over the next few months, we will train, have fun doing what we love, bring our city together, and make some incredible memories along the way. In doing so we’ve been given an awesome opportunity to ensure no family in Philadelphia goes hungry because a loved one is fighting cancer, creating a legacy which will outlive all of us. Our goal for the Love Run 2022 (Philly Runs Free campaign) is $250,000. This will ensure that no family living in Philadelphia goes hungry or loses their home because a loved one has cancer. No elderly parent, or spouse, or child, or cancer patient will have to wonder where their next meal will come from, or will they will live.
