Eric's Epic Journey For A Cure - 155 Miles WOW!

On August 12 and 13,  Eric Gelber will embark on what he calls “a new journey;”  We call it AN EPIC JOURNEY!  Eric will take the longest run of his life when he will run  6 consecutive marathons, a total of 155 miles. A veteran of a multitude of ultra marathons, including two 100 milers, Eric raises money for the MMRF with every mile he runs.  Over the last four years, Eric has  raised more than $50,000 for multiple myeloma research.  This effort alone is approaching $20,000!

He is calling his run the Catskill 155 because his journey will take him from upstate NY in the Catskills to his friends home in Westchester County NY. 
Why does he do such a thing?   “I am inspired by the strength and courage of people like my friend Anita and Kathy Giusti in their fights,” he says. Eric's enthusiastic attitude and his commitment to making a difference makes him an inspiration as well! Part of the beauty of the PowerTeam is that each individual can motivate and inspire the others, and together we can accomplish great things. Keep on running Eric!
