Aden Brooks- we are so incredibly proud of your determination-not only in training for the marathon, which is a feat in and of itself, but also in the heart and grit you’ve shown in raising money to support MSK in honor of your grandfather, Steven Lasher “Buddy”. He was always so proud of you and I know he will be with you every step of the way and every mile of this incredible journey. Love, PB & J. Xoxo
Emily

Let’s go Freds Team! Every dollar you’ve raised and every mile ran will go towards life saving treatments, you all should be so incredibly proud. Enjoy this moment and soak it all in, cheering you on!!!

ATTENTION FRED’S TEAM: THE TIME HAS COME!

After months of training runs, fundraising, early alarms, long runs, sore legs, and approximately one million marathon logistics questions... IT’S MARATHON WEEKEND!!!

Getting to know all of you, cheering you on throughout the season, and supporting your fundraising efforts has been such an incredible part of this journey. Watching you get to this point has also given me a truly unnecessary amount of marathon FOMO.

But seriously, I could not be prouder of this team.

I can’t wait to see you at the Expo and then cheering you on as you make your way through all 26.2 miles on race day. Take it all in. Have fun. Be proud of everything you’ve done to get here. And when things get tough, remember you have an entire Fred’s Team family cheering you forward.

YOU DID THE WORK. NOW GO HAVE YOUR NYC MARATHON MOMENT!!!

In early 2024, my 4-year-old son, Gus, was diagnosed with retinoblastoma. We felt the panic, fear, and grief no parent ever wants to experience. As devastating as that moment was, we were also given the greatest gift: HOPE.

In 2025, Steve was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. The diagnosis turned our world upside down overnight, but it also introduced us to something we’ll never forget: the extraordinary expertise of Steve’s care team at MSK.

My mom taught me to always take the next step. Throughout her battle with cancer, there were so many moments when the next treatment was hard, scary, and completely unknown. But she kept moving forward.
