Hello, my name is Eric Schemitsch, and I am running the New York City marathon on behalf of SNACK*! I first was exposed to SNACK*'s great work through my good friend Andrew Ceonzo, who I first met during my time at Regis High School. Over the years, I have had the privilege of watching the program continuously grow and navigate challenges under the Ceonzo families' guidance and with the help of many other generous families who support SNACK*'s mission. I gratefully now have the opportunity to contribute my support by being one of their representative runners at this year's marathon.
For those unfamiliar, SNACK's mission is to enrich the lives of children, teens, and young adults by providing diverse classes and activities designed, so everyone has the opportunity to make progress at their own pace, offering the opportunity to make friends, have fun, learn skills, work and participate in activities that ensure participant well-being so they may lead more independent, purposeful lives.
