SEVEN Chemist Warehouse Run Club members, led by Executive Director Mario Tascone, ran the New York Marathon yesterday to support the Save Our Sons charity in the fight against Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.
As part of the event, Chemist Warehouse's executive team ran through New York's five boroughs.
The pharmacy giant has been a major charity partner of Save Our Sons since 2016.
Key supporters included Voltaren, L'Oreal Paris, Swisse, and others, all helping to raise funds for this cause.
"We're honoured to hit the streets of New York, running for those who no longer can," Tascone commented.
Save Our Sons was founded in 2008 by Elie and Nancy Eid after their son Emilio was diagnosed with the disease.
It is Australia's leading organisation supporting those with Duchenne, a severe muscle-wasting disease that impacts one in 3,500 boys, with life expectancy to early adulthood, while Becker muscular dystrophy is less severe than Duchenne.
