As you all know, the McGee Family is near and dear to my heart.

Their 10 year old son Chase was diagnosed with medulloblastoma (a type of brain tumor) in August of 2021.

He is almost at the finish line for treatment at Hackensack Meridan Children's Cancer Institute.  He has shown resilience, strength, and courage throughout this battle.

Some of Chase's friends, family, and I are joining together to race for a cure on the Tackle Kids Cancer NYC Marathon team. We will run in honor of Chase and how strong he's been throughout this process. #chasestrong

We hope you will join and support!

"My Son Chase has been such an inspiration for everyone who he crosses paths with during his treatment.  He continues to show strength, courage, determination and trust throughout it all. He is surrounded by the best doctors, nurses and hospital Staff at Hackensack Meridan Children's Cancer Institute.  Our team participating in the race hopes to carry Chase's strength and determination with us and do all that is possible to support Hackensack Meridan Children's Cancer Institute so that other children and families going through their own journey can continue to be surrounded by the best staff and receive the best treatments possible! Thank you everyone for their continued support of Chase through this journey!"

"Seeing how strong Chase has been throughout his battle, it's impossible not to be inspired and motivated by his toughness.  I am honored to have the opportunity to run for Chase and a great cause"
