I am participating in the 2023 Maryland Half Marathon & 5K (which is back in-person this year!) to raise money for the fight against cancer. 100% of every dollar I raise goes directly to the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC).   This will be the first time I am running in memory of my mother.  My mother lived many years longer than expected thanks to the treatment she received at UMGCCC.  We are so very grateful for the years we had with her. 

Since 2009, participants like me have raised more than $5 million to support UMGCCC’s cutting-edge care and groundbreaking research. And this year, we’re going for a new fundraising best. 

As a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, UMGCCC ranks among the top cancer centers in the country. They combine compassionate care with the most advanced treatment options available. I hope you’ll consider making a donation to fund their amazing work. Your support helps provide lifesaving treatment to UMGCCC patients and funds research that benefits cancer patients everywhere.  

Make a contribution today. Together, we can move the fight against cancer forward!
