I’m so excited and proud to be running the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon as part of the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation Endurance Team.

As a Pediatric ICU doctor, I unfortunately often encounter children with brain and spinal cord tumors alongside their families during some of the most difficult part of their health journeys (usually at time of diagnosis when brain pressure is life-threatening or immediately following brain surgery). My job in the ICU is to not just medically care for these children, but also support them alongside their families. Through CBTF, I hope to continue to support them even beyond the ICU.

CBTF supports children and families impacted by brain and spinal cord tumors from diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and beyond. Their programs provide emotional, educational, and practical support during one of the most challenging journeys a family can face.

I’ve committed to raising $3,750 to help ensure these families never feel alone.

I would be incredibly grateful for your support as I take on 26.2 miles for this important cause.

Thank you for your support!

Love,
Jordan
