His steady posture and the bright colors of his race bib reflect determination and celebration—capturing a powerful moment of strength, hope, and solidarity for all whose lives have been touched by blood cancer.

I am running the New York City Marathon for everyone who is currently battling cancer, for those who have fought courageously, and for the families standing beside them every single day.

Cancer is something that touches all of us in one way or another. It doesn’t discriminate; it impacts friends, parents, siblings, colleagues, and entire communities.

By running 26.2 miles and raising funds for Blood Cancer United, I hope to play a small part in supporting life-saving research and helping bring us closer to a future without this disease. I am incredibly proud and honored to be fundraising for such an important cause, and every donation (no matter the size) truly makes a difference!
