CSI CROSS-COUNTRY SKIPPER RAISES OVER 20K FOR ANTHONY'S RUNPublished by
College of Staten Island Cross-Country Head Coach Robert Russo and his wife, the former Christina DeMartino, rang in another installment of Anthony's Run this weekend to rousing success. The annual 5k run raises money for Muscular Dystrophy in the name of Anthony DeMartino, Christina's younger brother, who died of the disease in 2007, and this year garnered over $20,000 for the cause. The trek through Staten Island's Mount Loretto helps promote awareness and develop cures for the severe, life-threatening, disease. "We started the idea behind Anthony's Run a few months after he passed," said Russo. "We were determined to keep Anthony's memory and positive spirit alive. Anthony's loving heart, courage and perseverance inspired us to start an organization that can help achieve these goals and also directly help others living with similar diagnoses. We knew the best way to honor Anthony's memory and celebrate his life would be by making a positive impact on others." Read the full article at: www.csidolphins.com
