Love Run in Memory of Neal Tessler

Tax deductible
As most of you already know, Neal Tessler lost his nearly three-year battle with brain cancer on February 3rd. 

Watching their father struggle with a malignant brain tumor the last three years was devastating to Stevie and Ryan.  Despite going through this tough time, Stevie and Ryan realize how fortunate they were to have had him as a father for 20+ years. 

Neal was strong, courageous, loving, and gentle. He loved his family and friends. He was deeply devoted to his coworkers, students, and soccer team as well.  Neal showed great strength and perseverance up until his final days.  We love him so much and will hold his memory in our hearts forever.  

As we move forward we want to remember Neal as the person who didn’t just want to have acquaintances, he wanted to form bonds. This attitude towards life was infectious to all of those who knew him. Neal always cherished the relationships he formed and went through life with an unwavering generosity and kindness. 
 
To celebrate Neal’s life, Ryan and a few of his friends have signed up to run in the Love Run Philly (Philadelphia Half Marathon) on March 26th to raise money for the National Brain Tumor Society. Following the race, family and friends are welcome to head over to Field House (1150 Filbert St) where we have rented out space to continue the celebration. We will all plan on meeting at Field House around noon.

Donations to this page will go directly to the National Brain Tumor Society.

We would be beyond grateful if you considered donating, and we look forward to seeing you at the finish line!
