\u201cI ran in the New York City Marathon,\u201d Mr. Estrada shared about the days when he lived in Brooklyn, New York and had time to run and participate in races.

\u201cRunning has been a big part of me,\u201d Jose Estrada shares. \u201cAlthough I haven\u2019t run for 20 years, I decided to start to run again and compete, but not just for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to raise $3,000. $1 per mile. Each mile I run I get a donation,\u201d Jose Estrada explained his effort. \u00a0He also mentioned that he hopes that this fund raiser can turn into an annual event in a future.<\/p>
