Aidan and Raymond take on the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon

For the past three years, I have completed the TCS NYC Marathon along side some of my greatest friends. I was there with them every step of the way, and inspired them when they were doubting themselves. We crossed the finish line in support of an amazing charity, NYPD With Arms Wide Open. Now for my final NYC marathon, I’m taking on a new challenge, I’m challenging myself, running with Aidan Riley!

Aidan’s father Merritt is a co-trustee in the NYC PBA, and the founder of NYPD With Arms Wide Open - a charity begun out of the Riley’s experiences with Aidan - to assist NYC Police Officers with medically complex and special needs children.

Aidan is 22 years old, living with Cerebral Palsy and is a tremendous supporter of all things NYPD as well as the City of NY’s biggest cheerleader. As my last official NYC Marathon, I could not have been matched up with a better running partner!

Every dollar raised for our 26.2 mile journey across the five boroughs helps an NYPD family navigating life with their child just like Aidan. You can read more about NYPD With Arms Wide Open’s mission by visiting their website, NYPD With Arms Wide Open
