Become an Athlete Ambassador
Ariel’s Fitness Challenge (Athlete Ambassador Ariel Mierendorf, pictured here, competes in triathlons and endurance events to prove life is worth living beyond a Stage IV cancer diagnosis.

Thinking about training for an endurance event? Join Ariel as a PMP Pal Athlete Ambassador and set a fundraising goal along with your physical goal! An endurance event can be anything from setting a personal walking goal to running a marathon. Walk 1000 miles in 2024 and celebrate it by raising $1,000 for PMP Pals. Sign up for that half marathon you’ve always wanted to do and make your miles meaningful by raising $1,310 (in honor of 13.1 miles)

Facebook and Instagram Fundraisers are simple and secure. You can create a fundraiser to celebrate your birthday, a cancerversary or even, honor another patient or caregiver. We recommend setting your goal to a minimum of $500. Need help setting up your fundraiser? Email us to schedule a time to walk you through each step.
