Donate to Support American Cancer Research

Tax deductible
Running the Philadelphia Marathon as a representative of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is more than just a race—it's a deeply personal mission. A close member of my family battled breast cancer, and witnessing their strength, pain, and resilience showed me just how urgent the fight against cancer truly is. Every dollar raised directly supports groundbreaking research that leads to earlier detection, better treatments, and, one day, a cure. By donating, you're not only cheering me on through 26.2 miles—you’re standing with countless families affected by cancer and helping fund the science that gives them hope.
The AACR’s mission is to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication, and collaboration. Together, we can make a significant impact in the fight against this devastating disease. Every contribution moves us closer to breakthroughs that could save lives.
Your support helps the AACR make a difference by contributing towards efforts like:
  • Funding innovative cancer research that leads to new treatments and therapies.
  • Providing educational resources and training to the next generation of scientists and healthcare professionals.
  • Facilitating collaboration among researchers and institutions to accelerate the sharing of vital findings.
Join me in supporting this essential cause. Your generosity, no matter the amount, can help change the future of cancer care and bring hope to countless individuals and families. Together, let’s conquer cancer!
