PITTSBURGH, PA--The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation will be participating as an Affiliate Charity Partner at this year's DIck's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon--the nation's third largest marathon--on May 2.
Runners who join our team--and their personal motivation to raise awareness about sudden cardiac arrest -- will be acknowledged on our website, with permission. If you would like to run in in memory of a loved one lost to sudden cardiac arrest, or to honor the heroes who saved your loved one's life, this could be the race of a lifetime. We welcome your testimonials and photos.
Help us raise awareness about the leading cause of death in America--a condition that affects more people each year than AIDS, Alzheimers disease, assault with firearms, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, fires, motor vehicle accidents and suicide combined.
