Food Renaissance Founder and Author, Mary Jo Sarro, M.Ed., “Mamma Sarro” is teaming up with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to run as a Marathon Mom to raise funds for crucial cancer research at the 2012 ING NYC MARATHON on November 4, 2012.
Mamma Sarro, a food educator and the creator of Sarro’s Synergy of Food is a first time Marathoner and says the challenge of marathon training is staggering but she was inspired by the pediatric cancer patients that she has seen in the Department of Pediatrics at MSKCC in Manhattan.
“Each day those kids are up against health challenges beyond compare. They face their challenges with courage and dignity far beyond their years, in an uplifting community and environment within the hospital,”
says Sarro.
“I will run the 26.2 miles of the Marathon across the bridges, streets, avenues and through Central Park in NYC, inspired by my daughter, Michelle, currently in remission. Team Sarro will carry the support of family, friends and community supporters and run with Fred’s Team for MSKCC’s research to save lives. The research will benefit everyone.”
“We must do everything within our power to inspire and speak to everyone within reach of our voice to raise the funds necessary for vital research that is saving the lives of loved ones from everywhere.”
