- The ING New York City Marathon will be Eric’s first marathon.
- “Exercise is the key to staying healthy with cystic fibrosis,” states Eric.
- Eric’s goal for the marathon is 4 hours 30 minutes.
- What Eric is looking forward to the most about the ING New York City Marathon: “Crossing the finish line.”
