Now that the NYC marathon is cancelled, a group of New York runners are putting these legs and healthy spirit to good use! They are organizing an impromptu group of NYC marathon runners (and friends) to head over to Staten Island to run and distribute food and helpful items. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We plan to meet en masse at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, 8:30 AM on Sunday morning. Please wear something with Orange if you have
\nit so we can all identify each other (if you have it).<\/p>\n

Runners and the NYC running community has always been about helping those in need. This is our chance to deliver help on our doorstep.<\/p>\n

If you each could bring a backpack that you can run with that could include:<\/p>\n

Non-perishable food
\nPet food
\nFlashlights
\nTrash bags
\nInfant Formula
\nWarm Clothing
\nBaby wipes
\nBatteries
\nPre-paid cell phones<\/p>\n

We will plan on running through Staten Island (routes to be determined) and distributing our supplies both in relief centers and door to door. My guess is the centers will be well stocked but there are many door to door people that will be in need of help.<\/p>\n

Any food or clothing companies who might want to help us by donating would be great.<\/p>\n

If you have any media contacts that might be interested in this story that will help draw attention as well, please forward. That will result in more help and focus for Staten Island.<\/p>\n
