Hi I'm Evan! I am running my second NYC Marathon and raising money to support the Mount Sinai Health System. I am running with Team Andi, which is raising money to improve the accommodations for parents who are faced with the daunting reality that their newborn child will have to spend time in the NICU. Not only do parents in this situation have to deal with the hardships of what is going on with their newborn, but they also have to worry about their own personal accommodations once the mother is discharged from the hospital. Team Andi seeks to make that piece of the puzzle easier by providing enhanced accommodations for parents.
As a parent of a toddler myself, I couldn't imagine what these parents might be going through when faced with the reality of their baby needing to spend time in the NICU. I couldn't think of a more worthy cause than to raise money for an organization that is trying to make a difference in the harsh reality parents of NICU babies are faced with.
