Aubrey Barr

Fred’s Team runner
When I was 4 years old, I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and given just six months to live. Today, I’ve run more than 40 marathons with Fred’s Team. Running reminds me of the health I’m grateful for and allows me to give back to MSK.

Laura Lang

Fred’s Team runner
When my daughter Holly was diagnosed with retinoblastoma at age 3, we turned to MSK. Today, she’s a thriving 6-year-old. I’m running in celebration of her journey, the care she has received, and in solidarity with children and families facing cancer.

Yes, I plan to attend the Countdown to Race Week virtual event on October 22.
