Heather's Squad
Event: TCS New York City Marathon
Date: November 3, 2024
GIVING MEANING TO OUR MILES
Amani and Ed are running the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon with Fred’s Team, the official running program of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). The team goal is to raise as much as we can to support groundbreaking cancer research at MSK, and your donation will give us a boost as we train for our race. Heather’s diagnosis and subsequent surgeries last year were a huge challenge for our family. And while Heather’s recovery treatment continues, we are so thankful that she is now cancer free and we want to give back to a renowned organization like MSK, whose research helps ensure this kind of continued success against cancer for families around the world. MSK’s online resources specifically benefited Heather during a post-surgery stretch when getting a PT appointment in NH proved difficult. Please help Amani and Ed help MSK’s continued success.
100% OF YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS RESEARCH
Named in honor of New York City Marathon co-founder and MSK patient Fred Lebow, Fred’s Team brings together passionate runners and supporters to make progress against cancer. Since 1995, Fred’s Team participants have raised over $110 million. 100% of funds raised go directly into MSK labs, where doctors and scientists have expertise in more than 400 types of cancer and work every day to find new cures.
DONATE TODAY!
When you make a gift to Fred’s Team, you help MSK researchers develop new treatment options for the people who need them most. Together, we can make a big difference.
Thank you!
MARATHON
Obviously helping MSK fight cancer is what this is all about, but on the fun marathon side of things, this will be Ed’s first marathon in 21 years. He has never done NYC. As a Fordham Prep alum, Ed is excited to finally take part in this bucket list hometown event. Many runners hit “the wall” between mile 19 and 20. Ed is hoping that crossing into Da Boogie Down Bronx for that stretch will offer a Ram some inspiration. For 20 year old teammate Amani, this marathon will be a first, NYC or otherwise. Amani plans to complete a whirlwind 24 hours of NY bus rides to and from Ithaca College in Finger Lakes Wine Country for a quick run through all five boroughs for a critical cause before classes on Monday.
We can’t THANK YOU enough again for supporting MSK’s mission to end cancer through its sharing of research and education with global partners to eliminate health disparities.
