Being part of the Pittsburgh Marathon's Run for a Reason May 6, 2012 requires no special skills. You don't have to be a seasoned runner. Maybe you and a group of co-workers want to run the marathon relay or run/walk the half marathon. Or perhaps you are a seasoned runner that loves the idea of running for a cause...Gilda's Club.  Join us in 2012 and help raise needed funds to continue providing free programming for anyone in this region-men, women, teens, children-and their families and friends touched by cancer. Free of charge and non profit, Gilda's Club offers support and networking groups, social activities, arts/crafts, and educational programs in a warm and homelike environment at 2816 Smallman Street in the City's Strip District or in various community settings. 

Proceeds from the Run for a Reason in 2012 will enable Gilda's Club to continue to expand and enhance programming targeted to the entire family impacted by a cancer diagnosis.  We hope to exceed the number of runners/teams in 2012 from over 100 to help us reach our goal of $50000. We can do it with your help.  Come join us and be part of one of the most dynamic and fun charity teams for the Pittsburgh Marathon 2012. We look forward to seeing you on May 6 proudly wearing your Gilda's shirt and joining your fellow runners/walkers coming together to support Gilda's Club! Thank you!!
