Every year, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed aortic dissections are responsible for a staggering number of avoidable deaths.

I'm running the NYC Marathon in support of the John Ritter Foundation as part of Team Ritter. The John Ritter Foundation raises awareness of aortic health to prevent unnecessary suffering through genetic research, widespread advocacy, and radical advocacy.

Having been diagnosed and operated on to repair a potentially deadly Aortic Aneurysm, this is near and dear to me. My aneurysm was caught by chance. With the work of the John Ritter Foundation, others will be less likely to have to depend on luck.

Thank you for supporting this important cause!
