For the first time, Team CdLS is represented in the ING New York City Marathon, taking place November 7. The team is a participating member of the New York Road Runners Community Charity Program.
Among the 10 team members are five parents, one sibling, one relative and three friends of children with CdLS. Two ofthe runners— Beth Smisloff of Ballston Spa, NY, and David Fowler of New York, NY—just completed the Chicago Marathon October 10 as part of Team CdLS.
Smisloff and Fowler will be joined in New York City by Liana Davila of Dobbs Ferry, NY; Carol Campbell of San Francisco, CA; Lori Griffin of Newtown, CT; Hunter Jackson of Salt Lake City, UT; Katharine Gill Law of New York, NY; Susan Leone of Hawthorne, NY; Peter Uzzi of Avon, CT; and Amanda Woodall Lexington, KY.
The team’s goal is to raise $25,000. So far this year, Team CdLS has raised more than $130,000 in races in Manhattan Beach, CA, Philadelphia, PA, Albuquerque, NM, and Chicago, IL. All money raised by Team CdLS goes to the CdLS Foundation in support of its program and services for individuals with CdLS and their families.
