S1 E15: 12 Days of Giving Series: Kirsty Peart runs 75 miles after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis during the pandemic
It's that time of year again. A time to reflect, give, share, and grow - to express gratitude.
In light of the giving season, we’re flipping the script! Instead of chatting with nonprofit thought leaders, we are highlighting the most touching stories of individuals who fiercely support nonprofits and their “why.”
Because without supporters, nonprofits couldn’t exist.
During the 12-day series, Maria will be exploring topics surrounding: hardships, perseverance, fundraising, social media, and the importance and value of online community.
In this episode, Maria is chatting with Kirsty Peart who received a triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis during the pandemic.
Kirsty found so much comfort and solace in Maggie's Centres that she joined a 50-mile running challenge on Facebook in support of the organization.
Despite her aversion to running, Kirsty ended up running 75 miles thanks to all the support, motivation, warmth, and encouragement she experienced in the online community.
Tune in to hear Kirsty's story.

Nonprofit Innovators
Working at a nonprofit is hard. Let’s face it: If you’re a passionate, smart, decisive leader, you could make more money working anywhere other than a nonprofit. To make matters more complicated, you’re passionate about a cause and tasked with enlisting others to join the fight, but consistently asked to do more with less.The investment private-sector organizations require to grow is favor when dollars devoted to the mission is the ultimate KPI. When I joined GoodUnited after 30+ years at the American Cancer Society, my stated mission was to evangelize the third wave of giving on social media. Several months in, I realized my mission is bigger than that. I need to evangelize the work of nonprofits both to encourage their leaders to keep innovating despite circumstances that often disincentivize it, and to evangelize their experiences for the community at large.Let’s lean in, listen to great ideas, and learn from the people who took them from concept to creation.Join Podchaser to...
