THE PICTURES TELL THE STORY

THE EVENT -  THE NEW YORK CITY MARATHON

THE REASON - EB AWARENESS

Ellie's father Andrew, her Aunt Stephanie, and her Uncle Michael ran the New York City Marathon on November 6, 2011 to bring awareness to EB. The goal was to spread awareness by selling 1,000 green shoelaces. All of the money raised will go directly toward funding research through the Jackson Gabriel Silver Foundation so that Ellie can lead a better life and we can find a cure for EB!
