We Ran for Jessie again this spring in the conjunction with the Pittsburgh Marathon. Two relay teams and half marathon runners, donning “I Run for Jessie” shirts raised close to $1,000 for the Jessie Games and enrichment programs offered to children in need through Catholic Charities. The day started out a little rainy and cool, but cleared up for comfortable running. Family and friends, some in their first marathon event, came together for a day that started out a little rain and cool but cleared up for comfortable running.

We hope to have even more runners next year! You don’t need to be able to run a full marathon. We have spaces on relay teams for those who want to walk or run only a few miles. So if you want to join the Run For Jessie team, email us at thejessiegames@gmail.com.

 

In the spring of 2016, we Ran for Jessie in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Marathon. Several relay teams and marathon runners, donning “I Run for Jessie” shirts  raised more than $2,000 for the Jessie Games and the Catholic Charities Summer Lunch program. The day started out a little rainy and cool, but cleared up for comfortable running. It was our first time working with the marathon and we plan to build on the success next year.
