Elliot Silverstein

Runner in 2024

My name is Elliot Silverstein. I live in Boca Raton, Fl with my Wife Molly and my two kids, Teddy and Lily. I work for in Software Sales for a FinTech company called Ramp. Living in NYC/Brooklyn for the better part of the last decade, I am thrilled to be running my first marathon in the best city on earth. 

 

Reason’s I’m running this year:

 

1. My Dad, Lee Silverstein, passed away in February after a  13 year battle with Stage IV Colorectal Cancer. When he was 8 years old, he was diagnosed with a Whilms Tumor and treated at MSK. 42 Years later, diagnosed with Colon Cancer, he found his way back to MSK. The care he received was world class and the MSK team gave my dad hope when many of his local doctors did not.

 

2. I’ve had countless family members and friends afflicted with cancer in various forms, most notably: my uncle Brian, Aunt Nancy, Aunt Layla, Uncle Norman, Cousin Lisa, and Grandma Mary. 

​

My family is my inspiration to run and raise money for cancer research, and I hope we can get to a point in the not so distant future where less and less families experience the pain that cancer has caused to millions.
