As the Chief Nurse Practitioner for the Columbia University Aortic Center, my wife Annie gives her heart and soul to caring for patients living with aortic aneurysms and dissections. I have seen first-hand how her partnership with the John Ritter Foundation has positively impacted her practice as well as the lives of her patients and their families.

This will be my 5th NYC marathon, and I am excited to be running this one in support of an organization that has been so near and dear to Annie's heart, and to the hearts (and aortas!) of her patients.

My mission is to raise a minimum of $5000 in support of the John Ritter Foundation by November 3rd.
