Hi! I'm Eddie (though you probably gathered that if you've made it this far). I took up running over the pandemic as a way to get in better shape and stave off the ever-present fog of terrified dread (plus it was cheaper than a gym membership). As things turned out, I now run habitually, though never for a distance longer than a couple of miles. So of course, the natural next step was to sign up one of the longest races one could reasonably sign up for. I am running for the Queens Centers for Progress because I absolutely adore the work this agency does for individuals with developmental disabilities. Moreover, I've come to love the people that I now call coworkers (and friends). I'd love if you would donate to me because I've got a cute face and a winning smile. But if that's not much your thing, please consider making a donation to QCP to support our mission of promoting independence, community involvement, and quality of life for the individuals we serve.
