I am thrilled to be on Team Tell Every Amazing Lady®  again this year. I sat out last year’s race because of a run-in with lymphoma. I am through it and healthy!  I mention it because Pamela and Team Tell Every Amazing Lady®  were extremely proactive in offering me resources and introductions to people in their network that could help me and my family.  Needless to say, I am beyond inspired by the work Tell Every Amazing Lady® does everyday and am energized by their compassion, strength and commitment to cancer research and ending ovarian cancer for good!

Over the past year, the mother of a very close friend of mine was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

I am a 61 year old Brooklyn girl, who was a childhood friend of Louisa McGregor. I remember the fierce battle Louisa fought against ovarian cancer with the support of her loving and amazing family. She courageously left a legacy to help and educate other women to symptoms of this disease. I am proud to run with this wonderful group to continue her legacy and promote awareness.

I have been running since my late teens and enjoy the solitude of distance running but have also met some incredible people along the way. I am a veteran of over 30 NYC Marathons, a wife and mom of triplets and most recently a grandmother to a beautiful baby girl. I am a pharmacist, working as a Director of Pharmacy at Interfaith Medical Center//OBH in Bedstuy Brooklyn- an area in need of early detection and preventative care.

I’m grateful to run with Team Tell Every Amazing Lady® for so many reasons! Tell Every Amazing Lady® was one of the first Giving Partners Thrive Causemetics and Bigger Than Beauty Skincare, established over a decade ago, and it’s been such a privilege to work with Pamela and her team to impact those experiencing ovarian cancer. One of my best friends, Jamie Greenberg, and I will be running to honor our moms, Jenni and Ruth, who both had ovarian cancer. This race is about community, resilience and empowerment, just like Tell Every Amazing Lady® and Thrive Causemetics.

After losing my mother to the disease in 2011, I think it’s important to raise awareness for ovarian cancer so we can help to prevent more losses. Additionally, I think it is important to help raise funds to be able to find a cure.

Running has never been part of my identity. In fact, until recently, I never thought of myself as someone who could set a fitness goal, let alone run a half marathon. But that all changed when I took a leap of faith and signed up for the 2024 Disney Half Marathon. What started as a “whim” has turned into something so much more, not only did I finish that race, but running has become a personal journey that’s transformed my relationship with my body, health, and confidence.

It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle of daily life. Between caring for my two young daughters and juggling family, I found it difficult to prioritize myself. After having my first child I struggled with feeling comfortable in my own skin and knew I had to make a change, but didn’t know where to start. That’s when running entered my life and soon discovered that running was about more than just fitness. It became a way for me to reconnect with my body, clear my mind, and gain a sense of accomplishment I had never experienced before. 

One of the highlights of my running journey so far was the 2024 NYC United Airlines Half Marathon. Running through the streets of New York City, the city that raised me, was beyond words. There’s something so special about experiencing the pulse of the city, feeling the energy of the crowd, and seeing landmarks that have shaped who I am. It was a full-circle moment.

As I started exploring the charity partners for the United Airlines Half Marathon 2025, one organization stood out: Tell Every Amazing Lady®. The work Tell Every Amazing Lady® does to raise awareness for ovarian cancer and to educate women about the importance of listening to their bodies resonated deeply with me. Many of us get so caught up in the demands of life that we forget to check in with ourselves, and by the time we realize something’s wrong, it can be too late.

While I don’t have a personal connection to ovarian cancer, I have witnessed firsthand the devastating impact cancer has on a family. My own family has been touched by this disease, and I know the toll it takes on everyone involved. The emotional, physical, and mental strain is immeasurable. That’s why I’m so honored to be part of TEAL’s mission to spread awareness and empower women to advocate for their health. Supporting this cause through my running journey feels like the perfect way to give back and use my new passion to make a meaningful impact. Together, we can help make a difference.

My journey with Tell Every Amazing Lady® started 8 years right after my mother passed away.  I have been volunteering and dedicated every effort to bring awareness to ovarian cancer. I have found Tell Every Amazing Lady® an incredible support system and it brings me so much joy to be part of something so inspiring. 

My hope is that one day, not only will there be a cure for every cancer but, there will be proper ovarian cancer screening. This is going to be my 3rd half marathon running on behalf of Tell Every Amazing Lady®. Running has been an important part of my life, keeping my mind focused on the important things in life.

I’m honored and  grateful to be running the NYC Marathon on behalf of Tell Every Amazing Lady®. I hope that with every step I’ll bring hope and support to all Amazing Ladies suffering this devastating disease.

In 2015, my grandmother passed away from stage 4 ovarian cancer. I would love nothing more than to honor her by doing the NYC Half Marathon while supporting Tell Every Amazing Lady, since she always loved to walk and stay active. As she was a primary caregiver of mine when I was younger, she would always teach me the importance of moving your body and staying strong. We would go on walks everyday, and I would never realize how long they were since I loved spending time with her. Ever since then, I have participated in sports every year of my life, and it has become a huge part of who I am. I feel that completing this half marathon in honor of Tell Every Amazing Lady would serve as a perfect way to honor her and every woman that has gone through or is currently going through ovarian cancer.

My name is Marc Lieberman and I’m super proud to be running the 2025 NYC Half-Marathon with Team Tell Every Amazing Lady®. The past few years my family and I have seen some very close friends bravely battle different types of cancer. The thing that amazed us all is their incredible courage in how they went about their journey. 

I’m running to help raise awareness and money for ovarian cancer research in hopes that a cure will soon be discovered. I’m motivated by all the patients, families, friends, doctors and nurses who are all the real heroes!!!

 Tell Every Amazing Lady®’s mission is near and dear to my heart! My best childhood friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in her early 30s. Seeing her battle ovarian cancer into remission was such an inspiration to me. While she has a good support network of friends and family, I saw firsthand how the lack of resources on ovarian cancer was so isolating and confusing. I am so honored to run with an organization that is raising funding for life-saving research and spreading awareness about ovarian cancer to promote early detection!

I’m running on Team Tell Every Amazing Lady® because this fight is personal. As I battle ovarian cancer, I’ve experienced firsthand how critical awareness, support, and research are in saving lives. This organization embodies everything I believe in—empowering women, educating communities, and advocating for better resources. By running with this team, I’m standing alongside a movement that gives hope and amplifies the voices of those affected by this disease, including my own.

My goal for the United Airlines NYC Half is to cross that finish line as a testament to resilience and strength—not just my own, but for every woman who has faced ovarian cancer. It’s about raising awareness, inspiring others to fight, and proving that this diagnosis doesn’t define us. Every step I take is a message of hope and determination, and I aim to raise as much as I can to support the mission of early detection, education, and research.

What I love most about running is its transformative power. Running clears my mind, strengthens my spirit, and reminds me of what my body is capable of, even during the toughest battles. It’s my way of connecting with myself, my goals, and the world around me. With every mile, I find a sense of purpose and pride—especially now, as I run for something bigger than myself.

If I could change one thing, it would be the lack of early detection methods for ovarian cancer. Far too often, this disease is caught in later stages when treatment is more challenging. I would invest in research to develop reliable screening tests and ensure they are accessible to all women, regardless of background. Early detection can save lives, and it’s heartbreaking to think how many are lost simply because the tools to catch it in time don’t exist yet. Every woman deserves a fighting chance.

In September of 2017, just before my 18th birthday, I lost my mother—the most influential, supportive, and free-spirited person in my life. Her battle with ovarian cancer was a whirlwind of emotions, leaving us confused, empty, and blindsided. Through her diagnosis and passing, I struggled to find clarity, but lacing up my sneakers and hitting the pavement has become my way of channeling her free spirit. Running has become my outlet to fill the emptiness and clear the confusion I once felt.

I run for Team Tell Every Amazing Lady®  to raise awareness for ovarian cancer—a disease that took my mother and left us all unprepared. My goal is to show others affected by this disease that they are stronger than they realize, and that they have my support—and the support of many others—along the way. By finishing the NYC Half Marathon (hopefully with a sub-2-hour time), I hope to prove to myself that I can honor my mother’s legacy, be an inspiration to others, and offer the strength and support that I once needed.

Through this journey, I want to remind everyone impacted by ovarian cancer that strength isn’t about the speed at which we run, but about having the resilience to keep moving forward, no matter the challenges we face.

I have such fond memories of my aunt Siggi, even her aura sticks with me to this day. I remember her for her kind and gentle spirit while always bringing smiles to our faces and laughter in our lives. She meant the world to me, my family, my cousin, my uncle, and especially to my mom, her only younger sister. 

In the year 2000, we were all stunned by my aunt’s diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Mind you this was after months of symptoms explained away by her doctor. With little to no research back then, it was difficult to identify or diagnose. It was especially hard given my family still lived on the east coast while my aunt, uncle and cousin had moved out to Washington state years before. My aunt unfortunately lost her battle a couple of months later on Thanksgiving. This had a great impact on our lives and while for many years was a deep wound, it taught us great lessons about health, early detection and intervention.

It means the world to me to be able to honor my aunt and run the NYC Half Marathon (bringing me back to my soccer playing days) to raise money for many women and families who have been impacted by ovarian cancer. I hope to continue to spread awareness and education. All women should ALWAYS trust their gut and listen to their bodies. This saves lives.

I am running on Team Tell Every Amazing Lady® because I want to share my mother’s story while being able to spread and raise awareness about Ovarian Cancer.

 My goal for the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon is to finish between 2hr/15 min – 2hr/20 min with a 10 min -10:30 min pace per mile. What I love most about running is the ability to test my physical and mental strength and while pushing myself to new limits. Running has given me the opportunity to meet new friends and run with groups in order to help me train for future races. 

If I had the power to change one thing related to ovarian cancer, it would be to massively increase the amount of resources in order to detect early awareness and treatment while also being able to spread knowledge. My message to every amazing lady is to never give up because there’s always hope beyond what you see.

Running a half marathon to support the fight against ovarian cancer is a meaningful way to honor those affected by this disease and contribute to raising awareness. It’s an opportunity to transform physical endurance into a powerful message of hope and solidarity for women battling ovarian cancer. Supporting this cause allows me to contribute to crucial research and resources that can save lives. Each mile becomes a symbol of resilience, echoing the strength of those fighting this illness. Through this journey, I can inspire others to join the cause and remind the world of the importance of early detection and support.

I am running on Team Tell Every Amazing Lady® in honor of my grandmother, who is in remission of ovarian cancer. My goal for the United Airlines NYC Half is to fundraise money for this amazing charity. I love running because it gives me the freedom to compete against myself. 

If I had the power to make a difference related to ovarian cancer, it would be to create a community of support for those that are suffering from this disease. I would like to tell my grandma that I love her and I’m so happy that she is still here.
