The organization has secured its spot as an official charity partner for the 26.2-mile course, which stretches from Staten Island to the finish line in Central Park. Each of the team’s runners has pledged to raise a minimum of $5,000 to bolster the nonprofit’s mission of providing education and support services to those navigating a cancer diagnosis.

Egglesfield, who has personally battled testicular and prostate cancer, views the race as a vital opportunity to advocate for survivorship. He joins a diverse roster of participants, including caregivers, healthcare professionals, and fellow survivors. The Cancer Support Community currently operates over 200 locations worldwide, annually delivering more than $50 million in free support to patients and their families.
