For one group of 26 runners, this year's TCS New York City Marathon was much more than a day of grueling running. Instead, it was the measure of true grit, determination, and proving that they can do the impossible.
Chosen for their individual convictions and passions, the 2023 Team Inspire consisted of runners from all walks of life: new mothers, LGBTQ+ activists, war veterans, and everything in between. That group included several dedicated Brooklynites - including Prospect Heights resident Claire Gelbart and her friend Rahsaan Thomas.
I was honored to be among such a devoted and uplifting group, each of whom was running for something so meaningful."
