On your mark. Get set. Go Team CdLS!
Jump to Comments
Team CdLS heads to Chicago Sunday, October 7, for the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon. Among the 19 runners (our largest group yet) are 5 relatives of children with CdLS (including 3 parents), a NICU nurse who cared for a baby with the syndrome, a medical student, a graphic designer, and a Pilates instructor.
Team CdLS has been active since the 2000 Chicago Marathon, when runner Frank Mairano of Collinsville, CT—the father of a child with CdLS—used the occasion to collect donations for the Foundation. The team’s goal this year is to raise $50,000 for the CdLS Foundation.
