2015 NYC Marathon, Team FACES in Action!
There is something special about coaching athletes to the finish line of the NYC marathon. Every year I have the pleasure of doing just that, but this year was different. This year I had the opportunity to coach 12 amazing athletes who have been raising money toward research for Epilepsy through the NYU Langone Medical Center, FACES (FINDING A CURE FOR EPILEPSY AND SEIZURES).
Many of my athletes currently live with or have someone close to them fighting with this disorder. Over 3 million people live with epilepsy everyday. My experience with these athletes has inspired me more than ever to do more to give back and to be present within my own health and happiness. We can all do more. Best of luck to all!
