A MESSAGE FROM CJ Carenza
On October 16, 2016, I was knocked unconscious in a bicycle accident, where I broke my neck in 3 places and almost died. After surgery and a titanium plate, I was determined to fulfill The Persistence Project once again: "fall down 7 times, get back up 8 times!" Running a NY marathon became my goal with the mantra, “There’s No Such Thing as Can’t!” And one year later, I did just that. It’s been 8 years, and I’m ready to run again to raise money for Team for Kids, to pass along the transformative power of running to as many as possible. Please help me reach my goal.
