Why we are running The 2018 NY City Marathon

Our nephew, Corey Reich, was diagnosed with ALS(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-Lou Gehrig's Disease) at the age of 21 while a junior at Middlebury College in 2007. Every minute of everyday Corey lives with the devastating effects of ALS without allowing ALS to diminish his positive attitude or love for life. Corey continues to coach Piedmont High School Tennis (both boys and girls); support his favorite baseball team- The Oakland A's and be a leader in fundraising and raising awareness for ALS-TDI. Corey's "can do personality" towards life serves as an inspiration for all. He is just awesome. 

Mainly through our association with ALS-TDI and Corey, we have been privileged to meet other amazing people who have been affected by ALS or similar illnesses. Beth Hebron, Osiel Mendoza, Ellen Corindia, Anthony Carbajal, Pat Quinn, Mary Deal,Flora Fasolya, our very special former neighbor, Cathy Collins and our friend MaryAnn Jonaitis Quigley to name a few.

We run for Corey and all others affected by this devastating disease.

We run to raise awareness but most importantly to raise the needed funds to support ALS-TDI research and stop this disease.
