On Sept. 16, ultra-marathoner and Chappaqua resident, Eric Gelber, will attempt to make a historic 200-mile run around New York’s Central Park (that’s 33 tripsaround!) to raise awareness and $1 million total for multiple myeloma – a deadly blood cancer that has no cure.

Eric, who’s already raised more than $800,000 in honor of a friend who passed away from multiple myeloma, is calling on advocates to donate to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation and local runners to run by his side to cheer him on as he reaches his goal.

Eric’s Story: Eric’s journey started when he watched his friend, Anita, bravely fight multiple myeloma. Eric has run more than 20 ultra-marathons and 6 marathons totaling 500+ hours in honor of Anita.  Eric’s determination to find a cure for myeloma has caught the attention of Tribeca Digital Studios, which is filming a documentary, “Just a Mile to Go,” capturing his Journey Towards a Cure for this deadly blood cancer.

What does it take to run 200 miles in Central Park? From past experience, Eric estimates that he’ll:

  • Take 250,000 steps
  • Drink nearly 12 gallons of fluid
  • Breathe 67,000 times
  • Burn 20,000 calories
