The Raymond A. Wood Foundation is a charity partner for the 2026 Philadelphia Marathon Series. This includes the Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and 8K.
Our team will be running through Philadelphia’s most scenic and historic neighborhoods, from the history-filled streets of Old City, all the way to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Why This Matters
Survival is only part of the story.
For individuals living with hypothalamic-pituitary brain tumors, the lifelong effects can be complex and overwhelming—impacting metabolism, sleep, cognition, emotional health, and daily functioning.

Your participation in the Philadelphia Marathon Series directly supports:
- Breakthrough, patient-led research
- Advocacy for access to life-changing treatments
- Education and support for patients and caregivers
