In 2016, I lost my father to complications from his many bouts of cancer. Losing a parent to this disease is awful, but we were lucky in many ways. While my father went through his treatments, we didn't worry about where we'd get our next meal. This isn't the case for many here in Philadelphia. 

On March 26th, I am running the Love Run 7.6k and fundraising for Legacy of Hope. The goal is simple: ensure families in Philadelphia with a loved one fighting cancer never go hungry again. 

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!
