Story

Running the NYC marathon twice was something I never thought would be possible. Both finishes were extremely rewarding experience, and I knew it wouldn't be the final chapter.

In Oct 2023, our friends at Dana-Farber asked if I would like to run the Boston Marathon.

This was an incredible opportunity, and I had to step up to the challenge. I recruited my good friend, Fitzy Lynch, a Boston native and started training.

We are keeping most of our training under the radar. The goal is to post our effort as a surprise with the intention of inspiring more donations given that hard work we put in behind the scenes.

I plan to personally match the first $10,000 raised.

100% of every dollar raised will go towards our brain cancer research fund led by Dr. Franziska Michor.

Her lab investigates the evolutionary dynamics of cancer initiation, progression, response to therapy, and emergence of resistance.
