MARIOS GRANDSON LEXI
THIS COMING NOVEMBER, I WILL BE RUNNING MY FOURTH NYC MARATHON WITH TEAM IBD KIDS, SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!
AND I AM TRAINING HARDER THAN EVER FOR THIS AMAZING TEAM. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CROHNS DISEASE AT AGE 13.
MOUNT SINAI IBD PEDIATRIC CENTER WAS THE SHINING LIGHT FOLLOWING MY DIAGNOSIS.
I REMEMBER HOW GENUINE DR. BENKOV WAS IN HIS CARE, AND HOW SINCERE HE WAS WITH ME WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST.
I AM BLESSED AND THRILLED TO SAY I HAVE BEEN IN REMISSION FOR A HANDFULL OF YEARS, AND I OWE IT TO THE CARE OF
DR. BENKOV AND HIS TEAM.
I COULDN'T IMAGINE BEING ANYWHERE ELSE.
RUNNING THIS MARATHON IS MY WAY OF SAYING THANKS YOU .THESE 26.2 MILES ARE A CELEBRATION TO OUR HEALTH.
I ASK THAT YOU GIVE WHAT YOU CAN TO THIS LIFE CHANGING FOUNDATION
CROHN'S DISEASE IS DEBILLATING, FRUSTRATING, AND DOWNRIGHT UNCOMFORTABLE.
EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS TOWARDS MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
THANK YOU
