Wondering how you can support Layups for Lucy? 🧡 Here’s everything you need to know!

Sign up for free!
You can sign up at the link in our bio to commit to participate in Layups for Lucy On the Run. Once you’re registered, you can invite your friends, family, teammates, coworkers, or anyone else to sponsor your miles with a donation.

Want to fundraise?
Fundraising is completely optional! If you’d like to raise money, Create a Fundraiser when you register. This will give you your own fundraising page and link to share with your people. If you decide to make a page after you register, go to the Donate page and select Become a Fundraiser. All fundraising is participant led, so you decide if you want to create a page and who you want to share it with.

Move when and where works for you!
You do not have to complete all of your miles on one specific day in October. Run a few miles at a time, walk a mile each day, get a group of friends together, run whenever you have time, or even count miles from another race toward your total. There’s no right way to do it! Anything helps!

Save the date for October 24!
We’re planning two community meetups in Neshannock and Pittsburgh for anyone who wants to come together and run or walk with us on Lucy’s birthday. Locations and details coming soon! 💜

And remember, you don’t have to run or walk to support Layups for Lucy. You can make a donation directly through the Donate tab or simply help spread the word.

However you choose to participate, we’re so excited to have you moving with us to support Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and L4L’s local initiatives. 🏀🧡

We've brought back our Layups for Lucy shirts, now with an "on the Run" twist! Whether you plan to run, walk, or just want to support L4L and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, you can now purchase t-shirts, dry fit shirts, or sweatshirts for kids and adults.

Orders will close on September 27 so that the shirts can be printed and shipped in time for the event!

When you checkout, you'll have the option of having shirts shipped for a flat rate fee or picking them up at L4L headquarters (aka our house in Neshannock) for no additional charge.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and thank you for your years of support!

Last week, we had the opportunity to tour the brand-new Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

We saw incredible collaboration spaces and patient-centric treatment and recovery rooms, and learned about new processes that improve care. For instance, one of the cardiac catheterization labs is connected directly to an MRI suite, allowing even outpatients to go from MRI to catheterization all in one day!

We’re thankful to Nurse Ericka Kincaid for the tour and for sharing the thoughtfulness and intentionality that went into the design of this innovative facility.

We also enjoyed seeing Lauren McBryde and Michelle Margeson, from the UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation, who generously spent part of their day off touring with us and discussing our upcoming fundraiser (stay tuned for more details)!

The trip was extra special because two L4L committee members, Megan Heath and Skylar Vansovich, were both working in the hospital that day. Seeing how they have chosen to dedicate their careers to helping children was a wonderful reminder of the impact this community continues to have.
