Myths Vs. Truth

JOIN TEAM LIGHT OF LIFE

Truth

Since Light of Life is an official charity of the Marathon, you can select to run for our Mission and help us fundraise. If you raise the minimum amount for your race specified on the Marathon website, your registration fee will be reimbursed!

If you have already registered for the Marathon but did not select Light of Life as your official charity, you still can! Click the “Visit Dashboard” link in your confirmation email, select “Edit Registration,” go to the “Registration Questions” tab, and choose Light of Life Rescue Mission as your official charity.

Myth

MEET YOUR TEAM CAPTAIN

Truth

Emily Migliorisi is this year's Light of Life Team Captain. She currently works at Light of Life as the Development Team Intern through the Pittsburgh Fellows Program.

She will be your point of contact and you can ask her any questions you have leading up to the race by emailing her at emigliorisi@lightoflife.org.

Myth

SUPPORT TEAM LIGHT OF LIFE

Truth

Cheer on our dedicated runners by supporting their fundraisers! If you know someone running with Team Light of Life, show your encouragement by contributing to their individual fundraiser HERE.

Every donation helps provide critical resources for those in need.

100% of each dollar you give will go toward providing food, shelter and hope to Pittsburgh’s homeless.

Not a runner? You can still make a difference! Support the Mission with a donation and help change lives.
