In December of 2025, Becca and I lost our daughter, Hannah Leora, just six days after she was born. Hannah was perfectly healthy throughout the entire pregnancy, but due to a cord accident and placental abruption in the final days of Becca’s pregnancy, Hannah was without oxygen for some time and ultimately suffered significant brain damage.
The last eight months have been the most difficult of our lives. Even so, we remain grateful that we’ve had the time, space and support to properly grieve Hannah. Finding myself with free time I was not expecting to have, and with Hannah so much on our minds, I decided it was important to make sure that I made good use of this time, putting it towards something that would honor our daughter’s memory. So… I’ve decided to dust off the ‘ol running shoes for one more trip around the five boroughs this November. This will be my fifth NYC Marathon but far and away the most meaningful.
I could not think of a better organization to be supporting and raising funds for than March of Dimes. Their work is so important and so close to mine and Becca’s hearts. March of Dime’s mission is to lead the fight for the health of all moms and babies. Their goals are to end preventable maternal health risks and deaths, end preventable preterm birth and infant death, and close the health equity gap.
I encourage you all to spend some time on their website to learn more about the amazing work they’re doing.
I hope you’ll support me in my efforts to raise money for this amazing organization. No amount is too small and everything is greatly appreciated.
See you out there!
