Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to look at this page, whether you coincidentally stumbled upon on it (in that case welcome my name is Max) or you are one of the special individuals I sent a link to. This is my fundraising page for Team ANDI and Mount Sinai Hospitals NICU, as I have put myself in the predicament of having signed up for the New York City Marathon (my first marathon).
Team ANDI has been an Official Charity Partner of the TCS NYC Marathon for the past 10 years. Team ANDI runners support Mount Sinai Hospitals Neo Care Unit, NICU. Since Team ANDI started in 2014, they have created two private rooms that can each hold one family. The hope is to create many more rooms for future NICU parents to live with their newborns, hear them cry, smell them, hold them whenever they want, bathe them and be their 24/7 all within the support of the NICU staff.
Running has been a big part of my life for the past decade, while the charity is also meaningful to me as my soon-to-be sisters-in-law spent the first weeks of their lives in the NICU. Being able to run my first marathon, while also raising money for an amazing charity means a lot to me. I appreciate any donations made so that I can reach my fundraising goal as a part of Team ANDI.
