Even though I live in Colorado, I’ll always be a New Yorker.  Crossing the finish line of any marathon is an incredible feeling, but crossing this one will be extra special.  I run for many reasons, but most importantly to show my son, Iverson, that hard work and commitment leads to great accomplishments!  As I cruise through the city that day all I’ll be thinking about is the hug I’m gonna get from him in Central Park, and how cool it was to raise all this money for a wonderful cause.
