#MyBraveStory

What does being #BraveLikeDylan mean to you?

“Training for the race this year has also given me a lot to reflect on and recognize how thankful I am for my support system. The race is going to be incredibly emotional for me when we start to run down 1st avenue right past Memorial Sloan Kettering. It’s an event that I couldn’t be more excited about, and being able to raise money for the Brave Like Gabe Foundation was the cherry on top.”

- Dylan Hesse, 2023 NYC Marathon Charity Team Member
