ACMS Physicians Showing Up for Sarcoma Patients, Families, and Research
The Allegheny County Medical Society team is participating in the Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma Run/Walk to support sarcoma research, patient advocacy, and the families impacted by this rare and complex cancer.
This is an easy, low-pressure way for ACMS physicians to stand with patients and families, support the researchers driving progress, and help bring more attention to a cancer that needs it.
Our team’s participation is inspired by Dr. Mark A. Goodman, a retired orthopaedic surgeon, longtime ACMS member, and Chair of the Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma Board of Directors. His leadership reflects the best of physician service: using expertise, relationships, and community influence to help move care and research forward.
Who should join?
ACMS physicians are invited to join the team and bring their people with them. Family, friends, colleagues, kids, strollers, and dogs are welcome.
Do I need to run?
No. You can walk, run, cheer, or simply come be part of the morning.
Do my guests need to be ACMS members?
No. The ACMS physician is the team connection, but guests do not need to be physicians or ACMS members.
Is it okay if I have never participated before?
Absolutely. First-timers are welcome. This is our first time hosting a team! And its a community event with a mix of participants, pace levels, ages, and reasons for showing up.
Can I support the team if I cannot attend?
Yes. Donations to the ACMS team are welcome and help support Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma’s work in research, advocacy, and patient-centered support.
We have already passed our original fundraising goal, but we are not stopping there. Every additional gift helps build momentum for Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma and the patients, families, clinicians, and researchers connected to this mission.
Please consider donating, joining the ACMS team, or sharing this page with someone who may want to support the cause.
