SPOTLIGHT: Peter Mazzone

I am connected to the Alzheimer's disease through my brother's girlfriend Meghann, who has had multiple family members suffer from the disease. Through Meghann, I have seen the great things the Alzheimer's Association has done to help cure the disease and assist families that are affected by it. This charitable organization truly fills a great need in NY, and I am very proud to be a supporter of it. And running a marathon for this cause is an added bonus. I was thinking about running the NY Marathon before hearing about this opportunity from Meghann. But after I heard that both Meghann and my brother, Charles, would also be running, I jumped at the chance to be involved. I ran a marathon 4 years ago, and I knew I had one more race in me. My goal is to finish and enjoy the experience as much as possible!
