Let’s Imagine a World Without Cancer
We’re Steve and Laura, and this year we’re taking on the TCS New York City Marathon together as part of Fred’s Team.
Steve’s diagnosis with acute myeloid leukemia in 2025 came as a real shock, and it made for a challenging year—but it also gave us perspective. Through it all, running—and the incredible community that comes with it—became a huge source of support, structure, and positivity when we needed it most. Now, we feel incredibly lucky to be in a position to take on something as big as this together.
We’re running to raise money for leukemia research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center—a cause that’s deeply personal to us. Every mile is about giving back, supporting future breakthroughs, and helping others facing similar challenges.

Named in honor of New York City Marathon co-founder and MSK patient Fred Lebow, Fred’s Team brings together passionate runners and supporters to lead the way against cancer. 100% of the funds we raise will go directly into MSK labs, where doctors and scientists have expertise in more than 400 types of cancer and work every day to find new cures.
