Help Fred raise money

For participating in 2021 Cleveland Marathon

My Story…

Mark and I became instant friends at Choate where he was a stellar offensive and defensive lineman on the school's 1980 undefeated team. He went on to be a starting defensive end at Princeton, earning 3 varsity letters.  We were lifelong friends, and I valued his loyalty, generosity, humor and the happiness he brought my family and other friends. He was struggling mentally in his last days and wanted answers, which his family continues to pursue through the Concussion Legacy Foundation (CLF). Thank you for considering a contribution to the CLF in memory of Mark.

Donate to help Fred raise money for 2021 Cleveland Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
