Welcome to Annie's fundraising page!
On behalf of the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation, I would like to thank you for your generous support of the 2026 BHOF “Be Bone Strong” NYC Marathon Team! My mother, Mary Van Pilsum, was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis a few years ago. Watching her face this challenge and make hard but meaningful lifestyle changes has fueled my passion for raising awareness and support in the fight against Osteoporosis.
The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation's mission has never been more critical: osteoporotic fractures are responsible for more hospitalizations than heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer combined. People’s experience with osteoporosis varies greatly, but the good news is that it is manageable disease. But we need your help!
The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) is the leading health organization dedicated to preventing osteoporosis and broken bones, promoting strong bones for life, and reducing human suffering through programs of public and clinician awareness, education, advocacy and research.
Established in 1984, BHOF is the nation’s largest health organization solely dedicated to osteoporosis and bone health. You can find them at https://www.bonehealthandosteoporosis.org.
Our “Be Bone Strong” team will work to raise much-needed funds to help BHOF improve patient care, support those who have broken bones due to osteoporosis, and educate the public about this chronic but preventable disease.
Thanks for supporting me!
