Perspective

As you probably know, I will be running the NYC Marathon this November with Fred's Team to support The Aubrey Fund for Pediatric Cancer Research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

I would like to share with you words written by Linda Hanna, a Fred’s team runner. Linda lost her son Sean to cancer last year

What Can Cancer Do

It can teach you to celebrate the ordinary

It can encourage you to live a life of passion and compassion
It can promote new dreams
It can humble you and enhance your humanity
It can heighten gratitude
It can challenge you to become adaptable
It can expand your heart and increase your capacity to love

Tearful but triumphant, Fred Lebow, founder of the NYC Marathon, crossed the finish line of the New York City Marathon with Grete Waitz in 1992. Weak from his battle with cancer, Fred struggled but finished and said, “Running the marathon is the best way I know to fight this disease”. Fred died in 1994, The cause of death was brain cancer.
