In 2011, my mom faced breast cancer with incredible strength and resilience. During her journey, our family found comfort in events like the Panerathon. It’s been years since we last participated, but this year, I’m lacing up my shoes for the 10K run—surprise!
This cause is deeply personal to me. All proceeds from the Panerathon stay right here in Youngstown, directly benefiting the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center, which provides life-saving care to so many.
I’ve been (somewhat 😉) quietly training for this race, and now I’m reaching out to you. Your support—whether through a donation, cheering me on, or sharing this page—means the world. Together, we can make a difference for those battling breast cancer and honor all the warriors, like my mom, who inspire us every day.
We are THREE months away!
Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
