2018 TCS New York City Marathon: Team Foundling Runner Josh Grill
Team Foundling is preparing for the 26.2-mile TCS New York City Marathon on November 4, 2018. As an Official Charity Partner, The New York Foundling has a team of dedicated runners ready to run through all five of the city’s boroughs in support of the 30,000 children, youth, families, and adults The Foundling reaches each year through its work in child welfare, behavioral health, juvenile justice, developmental disabilities, and education programs.
This will be Josh’s first New York City marathon. Though he ran cross country in middle and high school, he recently started running as an adult and enjoys the meditative feeling of running long distances. He believes everyone should have an opportunity to succeed in life, which is one of the reasons he is running the marathon in support of The Foundling, its work, and its mission.
