Help James raise money

For participating in 2021 Cleveland Marathon

My Story…

My brother Mark took his life on September 7, 2020 leaving all who knew him grieving and asking ourselves why he would be in such despair. The one thing he did before he died was write a letter to my mom asking that his brain be examined for CTE. Mark played defensive line for nealy ten years between Darien High School, Choate and Princeton University. While Mark showed no outward signs of depression, the fact that he identified CTE as a possible cause. We donated his brain to the Concussion Legacy Foundation and are raising money in Mark's memory to support this incredible organization. The long term goal is to help as many people suffering with CTE to get the help they need before it's too late. On behalf of my family I thank you! Jim
