GIVING MEANING TO MY MILES

Hiii!! I'm Katie, and I'm proud to be running in the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon with Burke's Team to support Fred's Team* and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).

Burke, my cousin, was diagnosed with cancer for the second time in 2020. In January 2021, during an intensive 10-day inpatient stay at MSK, he vowed to beat cancer and run the New York Marathon. Not only did he achieve both goals, but he has also completed 2 additional New York Marathons since then.

Fast forward to mid 2023, we're on a big family trip in Hawaii. Burke was up most mornings training for his 3rd New York Marathon. We'd see him mid morning on the beach where he was watching his little ones and attempting to convince his cousins (us) to run with him in 2024. When he asked me to join I said I would if he could convince Jed (my husband) to join as well, thinking no way would Jed agree to willingly run 26 miles.

20 minutes later I get out of the water and Burke greets meet with a smirk. Jed had agreed! So, here we are, gearing up to run 26 miles and raise funds to fight a disease that impacts us all too often. It's our first marathon and we are excited to be running in New York with Burke's Team.

*And just in case your curious as to why Burke's Team is supporting Fred's Team - Fred's Team was established in 1995 to honor Fred Lebow who popularized and promoted the New York City Marathon. In early 1990 after he was diagnosed with brain cancer Fred used running as a means to battle the disease and designated MSK as the New York City Marathon's first official charity. He lost his battle with cancer in 1994 and a year later "Fred's Team" was created to honor his life and legacy and raise those cancer research funds.

Thank you
