Support John Pascarella in the 2009 Chicago Marathon

John Pascarella

 

Name: John Pascarella
Current City: Chicago
Past Marathons: First Marathon
Time Goal: Under 5:00
Prior to training for the Chicago marathon, I could hardly run two miles without feeling like I was going to pass out. Helping to find a cure for Geoff's injury and all people disabled by spinal cord injuries has inspired me to train for this marathon, maintain my able body in peak physical condition, and help support this important mission. Modern science is just starting to understand how the human spinal cord works and how to repair it, and SCIS.org is committed to helping fund this cutting edge research. I am proud to be a part of this cause, which promotes the scientific advancement of the human race through spinal cord research.
