This year Team Boomer – Fighting Cystic Fibrosis will have over 120 runners competing in the ING New York City Marathon - ALL will be running and fundraising for a cause.

• The ING New York City Marathon will be Eric’s first marathon.
• “Exercise is the key to staying healthy with cystic fibrosis,” states Eric.
• Eric’s goal for the marathon is 4 hours 30 minutes.
• What Eric is looking forward to the most about the ING New York City Marathon: “Crossing the finish line.”
