About 1300 Marathoners hit the volunteers list to pull up their sleeves and help. Thank you!!!
After they boarded the Staten Island Ferry they ran to the areas that were affected and heard Staten Islanders heart breaking stories. Many others runners stayed back to run at Central Park. Coach Steven Mackel was one of those volunteers who recorded a video of the experience as a marathoner volunteering.
First things first I would like to say thank you to all those kind hearted people who have taken the time to donate for the relief of this treacherousness hurricane. As the nonprofit organizations come together and build a tremendous fellowship to help these hurting families as well as our troops and reserves HOAH! Thank you it places my heart at relief. THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHOM HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO GO OUT THERE AND SHOW LOVE.
This video is an amazing clip that has brought me to tears. It shows how bad things really are in Staten Island. Marathoners have gotten down to the nitty gritty to help. Amazing please share this video. Thank You!!!!!
NORTH EAST AMERICA WILL RISE STRONGER THAN EVER!!!!

Hurricane Sandy (WHAT YOU SHOULD DO)
I dont know where to start....
Hurricane Sandy Has ripped through the most of the northeastern states and has left millions without homes, cars, businesses, and few without thier lives. These solid cities always seemed almost unsinkable have been hit with a category 5 hurricane that stretched out about 1000 miles wide.
I am not sitting behind my laptop wanting to talk about this hurricane and all the damage it has done. Nor I am here to give a story about certain people. Im not waisting my time to write about the distruction, or death tolls. I am writing this to give people the heart and or courage to go out there and help. If I had someone to stay home to take care of my kids I would give 12hrs a day. But all I can do is voice it out and tell those who can afford to take a couple of days, weeks or even months to go and help.
There are many people in temporary shelters in need of clothing. People with power out in need of a hot meal. People without transportation, they are completely blocked out of certain parts of the area.
The only thing that has bothered me is the fact that people that have not been affected by this hurricane have went about with their daily lives and only care for themselves.
GO OUT THERE AND HELP!
Here are some things you can do.
Start up a food drive in the unaffected areas and take them to areas where they can be of use.
Help home owners clean out their homes
Volunteer at shelters, soup kitchens, clothing drives
Just even walk around and hear peoples' stories personally be their shoulder to cry on not by the news itself.
If you are a musician or a singer go out there and sing for them!
Other things I can think of but Ill update as they come
Last but not least PRAY!
Thank You for reading this
