Dad running the NYC Marathon
Dad running the NYC Marathon

 

 Hi Friends!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I am running the 2023 New York City Marathon in honor of my dad, Tom Buckley. 

My dad grew up in Queens, NY and often got lost running the streets of the city. He ran 13 NYC marathons and loved sharing stories from the race with my sister and me. For example, every race he wore a red tank with his nickname "BUCKO" across the front. He decribed how the crowd cheering "GO BUCKO" gave him the extra push in the last few miles of the marathons. 

My dad died suddenly of a heart attack in 2010 when I was 17 years old. One thing I got from my dad was his love of running, and have run a handful of marathons and ultra marathons, but never the NYC marathon. Words can't convey how meaningful it would be for me to follow in his footsteps through the five boroughs, and finish the NYC marathon. I am raising money for Tedy's team, an amazing organization that supports stroke and heart disease research. 

Thanks for your support,

Ellen

  • Balance Difficulties
  • Eyesight Changes
  • Face Drooping
  • Arm Weakness
  • Speech Difficulties - and if you notice any of those warning signs, it's...
  • TIME TO CALL 9-1-1.

BE FAST is an acronym to help you quickly recognize common signs of a stroke and to take any necessary action by calling for emergency medical services. Other symptoms may include sudden and severe unexplained headache or migraine with no obvious cause, and confusion or trouble understanding things they would normally know.
