Guide Runner spot for United Half! Support an incredible person and friend!

Hey everyone!

This is a near and dear opportunity to my heart and I'm excited to share it with someone in the community. 

My friend Frankie Anzaldi is a teenage runner with intractable epilepsy. He essentially has a pace maker in his brain to help anticipate seizures and other potential health issues. 

At one point doctors told Frankie that he may never be able to walk let alone run. A few years ago Frankie was at Dr. appointment at NYU langone. It happened to be the same day as the United Half marathon. 

He said to his dad that one day he would run the race....

Since that day he has completed multiple half marathons and now has a bib to the United Half to carry out his goal!

I ran my first NYC marathon in 2019 and fundraised for Frankie. He is awesome. A true inspiration to me and many in the running world. 

Frankie has a guide runner bib for the United Half in March. If I wasn't traveling for the LA marathon I'd have accepted the bib. However I can't be in two places in once. 

His estimated finish time is a 1:30 half marathon or sub 7 minute pace. 

If anyone wants to run with Frankie and support him and his multiple year long journey plz comment or DM me and we can send your profile in to Frankie's dad to see if he thinks it's a match!
