A Run To Remember

The ING NYC Marathon draws thousands of runners every year. These runners participate to challenge themselves, in memory and support of loved ones, to benefit charities, or simply for the thrill of the race. Every single one of them is an inspiration to us all.

I want to highlight a group of very special runners who, last night, allocated the $290,000 dollars they raised. That's right, $290,000!

The Alzheimer's Association of NYC Junior Committee, led by Erin Eininger, and over fifty members, raised over a quarter of a million dollars in support of their cause. Oh yeah, they also finished the 26.2 mile race and months of training!

That is young adults in NYC making a difference. So thank you to Erin and the Alzheimer's Association of NYC Junior Committee.
