Congratulations to our Vice President Anthony Cataldo on completing the London Marathon! We are all so proud of you!
A note from our Vice President:

To my wife and kids, I couldn’t have done this without your love and support from day 1. Thank you to my whole family for being in my corner cheering me on!
A huge thank you to all who supported me and helped me exceed my fundraising goals throughout these years. You have made a huge difference in many people's lives."
