NYC marathon bound I need your help!

Hi family and friends, big news to share! I’ve signed up to participate in the NYC Marathon this coming November! I’ll be running alongside my sister Jenny and good friend Emily to raise funds for a cause near and dear to my heart – Colon cancer prevention and research.

As many of you know, in 2020, our family received a shocking and unexpected diagnosis - my husband Zack had stage 4 colon cancer. Zack has been going through treatment (and kicking butt!), but there’s always more that can be done to find a cure. Zack’s cancer is currently stable, and while we’re feeling optimistic, we can’t help but dream of a world where cancer screening is more accessible to those considered low risk and that a cure for all cancers will be discovered.

Our running team has a joint goal of $10,000 which will be donated to colon cancer research through an NYC Marathon-sponsored organization. We are dedicated to helping do whatever we can to fight this damn thing and find a cure once and for all. We appreciate your consideration to support our journey to the NYC marathon on November 6 and to help continue the fight against cancer. Go team!

The team we're running for, "Fred's Team," specifically raises money for cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). Our goal is to raise as much as possible to support the groundbreaking work of MSK doctors and scientists, and your donation will give our team the boost we need as we train for the big race.
