This weekend I will be running for the first time as a charity runner. I chose to run as a member of Cutch's Crew which was founded by Pittsburgh Pirates' Andrew McCutchen. All proceeds benefit Pirates Charities and will be dispersed to various charities in Western PA. In 2016 some of the organizations that benefited from Cutch's Crew were Homeless Children's Education Fund, Habitat for Humanity, Make-A-Wish, and Children's Hospital. As of this week, over $19,000 dollars has been raised by the Cutch's Crew team. The amount of support and donations that I have received from family and friends over the past few months is absolutely overwhelming. As I pound the pavement in Pittsburgh this weekend, knowing the outpouring support that I have behind me and the lives that I will be touching while doing so is something that I have been looking forward to for months. |
Follow along in the fun!
