On Nike.com there’s a second-hand account of Ramon’s run 100 mile run in Vermont a few weeks ago. He’s the head coach of the NYC Team In Training, and without him, I’m not sure I’d be this far into my own training. Congrats Ramon! You inspire us all!!
“Ramon’s 100 mile run wasn’t just about enduring the distance or seeing how hard and far he could push his body. Ramon’s 100-miler was about a little girl named Kate, who after battling a blood cancer, just got the “all clear” from her doctor and has said adios to chemotherapy. In Kate’s honor, Ramon has raised over $55,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, with hopes of reaching $75,000. Ramon ran for Ms. Kate (and her sisters Emma and Olivia too!) and so many others. In a thank you email Ramon sent last week he said, “On July 19th, I’ll be running for all of you going thru treatment, for your families, your friends, your husbands and wives, your grandparents, your sister or brother, I’ll be running for those fighting cancer, any cancer, on the bed, or on the lab, for those fundraising $$.” And oh did he run!”
