Family and Friends:
After a 15-year hiatus, I am excited to be running the 2024 NYC Marathon as a member of TeamIBDKIDS. I will be raising money for The Susan and Leonard Feinstein Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Center at Mount Sinai.
As many of you know, over 15 years ago, my daughter, Alexandra, was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. At that time, I ran my first (and second) NYC Marathon as a member of TeamIBDKIDS to raise money and awareness for patients of all ages living with IBD, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. During my training, Zachary, Alexandra's twin brother who was nine-years old at that time, promised me that he would run the NYC marathon with me when he got older. I am so excited that this year, Zachary will be running his first marathon with me also as a member of TeamIBDKIDS. We are very much looking forward to crossing the finish line TOGETHER in support of Alexandra, and all of our family and friends who suffer from this terrible disease.
Thank you in advance for your support of my fundraiser.
XO Wendy
