Geoffrey Glass first
began running for charities in 2006 at the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon,
and since then he has selflessly given of his time, fundraising efforts and
money to many different charitable organizations. In 2010 he rounded up many of his fellow employees at Patheon to join him at NYC Marathon. He challenged corporate rival Aptuit to do the same, and approached the MMRF to hold a contest to see which company could raise the most money for their respective charity. (Patheon won). Patheon ran for The Hole in the Wall. Aptuit ran for MMRF.
Geoff is pictured above (L) with Rob Lucas, then VP of Development for MMRF. On the right is Colin Terry, his counterpart who lead the team from Aptuit. The following year, Geoff decided to move his team over to the MMRF and run the Chicago Marathon where they raised $16,000.
This year, the Patheon team is ten strong, and is running MCM. Included on the team is Colin Terry, who no longer works for Aptuit, but wanted to join Geoff this time as a team member.
As a member of the MMRF PowerTeam, Geoff achieves his fitness goals as well as his greater life goal of helping others. "Crossing the finish line of a marathon is an amazing experience EVERY time," he says. "Doing it knowing that people have supported you and that you've helped make a difference for a group in need is even more meaningful for me."
The MMRF thanks Geoff for his continued support and for inspiring so many others to not only run a marathon, but to use that experience to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients.
