I was hit by an out of control speeding car on September 3rd while jogging in downtown Jersey City.  I thought getting knocked out of one’s shoes was an old wives tale, though I landed about twenty five feet from my sneakers.  I realize how incredibly lucky I am that torn ligaments were the worst injury.  Since then, three new ligaments were stuck in my knee, and six months of rehab later - I’m training hard for an endurance event.

While that traumatic evening has given me reason to become a better person, and to naturally want to prove myself - this race isn’t about me.  It’s about the many people who have suffered far worse, and for those that still do.  It’s difficult to believe that these fundraisers can make a difference, but they do!  I’ve come a long way over the last few months and I’m so grateful for all your support.  I want to switch the focus to helping others…  and, I hope that challenging myself like this will encourage you to throw a few bucks towards finding a cure.
