Cindy Gavin / New York City Marathon 2025
My maternal grandmother faced a courageous battle with four different cancers, and I could probably say the word 'cancer' before I could walk.
About Cindy's Race
My marathon journey started back in 1999. I always dreamed of running up First
Avenue in the NYC marathon and wanted to run for a meaningful charity dedicated to
the fight against cancer. It is hard to imagine but, at that time, there weren’t many
organizations sponsoring marathon teams so I joined LLS’s Team in Training.
Over the years, people have asked me on countless occasions about my connection to
cancer and I always respond by sharing that my lifetime personal and professional
commitment is to the neverending fight against all cancers. My maternal grandmother
faced a courageous battle with four different cancers from the time my mom was four
years old and I could probably say the word 'cancer' before I could walk.
On November 2nd, I am honored to take the starting line for my 13th marathon, and my
second with Team Let's Win.
