Marathon #2 is officially on the race calendar.
As a kid I was a spectator of this race, standing on the sidewalk in my Dad's Brooklyn neighborhood.
As an adult I stood several years in a row in my Queens neighborhood, cheering on my friends who ran.
Then, I ran my first Marathon, and I thought that I could, maybe, run this race one day.
And after reading many facebook updates that a friend from high school posted about her daughter, who has NF, I realized I could help in some way.
So this November 6th, I will be running the NYC Marathon, to raise funds for NF Endurance, Children's Tumor Foundation.
To help all those affected by this incurable disease.
Like Julia.
Totally cool! That always sounds like such a cool race.
