Friends, Family and Colleagues,
I hope you are all well and I look forward to seeing many of you again when we get through the end of this pandemic. In my 50th year I set some goals, among them was to do more charity driven work, get fitter, and spend more time outdoors with my wife Carla and my two boys, Alec and Cooper. It just happens that it is also the 50th Anniversary of the NYC Marathon and I am going for it, while raising money for the Red Cross! I hope you can help this amazing organization by donating to my page and cheer me on as I train towards this 50th year milestone. My training has already picked up and I should be ready to go by Nov 7. Thanks in advance for your consideration, Ray.
I'm proud to run with Team Red Cross because...

Team Red Cross brings together runners of all ages, background, and abilities in support of the American Red Cross while providing a rewarding charitable-giving experience.
The mission of the American Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Your gift will directly support the lifesaving mission of the American Red Cross.
Because of YOU, when a disaster strikes, the Red Cross is there to provide food, shelter, relief supplies, and hope to individuals displaced by a disaster. At the same time, communities are receiving Red Cross training in First Aid, CPR, and disaster preparedness to help save lives.
When military recruits prepare to leave for military service, the Red Cross is there with them, explaining how we will support them and their families throughout their military career and beyond.
When the international community calls upon us, the American Red Cross is there alongside our Red Cross and Red Crescent societies to provide relief and hope around the globe.
And, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, we provide hospitals with lifesaving blood products from volunteer donors.
Thank you for generously supporting the American Red Cross!
If you have any questions regarding your donation, please contact NYCMarathon@redcross.org.
