Target: $2,000.00
Raised so far: $1,175.00

My name is Alex. I became a " runner" on Jan 1, 2009. My motivation for running the Los Angeles marathon is a little girl name Madi Doman. My best friend, Abbie, who is like a sister to me gave birth to Madi on March 26, 2008. Born and having survived a congenital diaphragmatic hernia she has taught me what resilience and strength really is. Our goal for the l.a marathon 2011 is to not only raise money for genetic research but to inspire Madi and other kids born with CDH to not allow themselves to have physical limitations.

When my daughter Madisyn was diagnosed with CDH we asked how it would impact her life. We were told she would be fine but that she probably would never run a marathon or be an Olympic athlete. Maybe she won’t ever be either of those, if she chooses not to, but I am running this marathon hoping to encourage her to never feel limited by what others tell her and to always do her best and live up to her potential. Madisyn continues to battle with the effects of CDH and has shown me what true strength is. She has been able to overcome so much and has filled my life with endless joy. I am so blessed to have her and wouldn’t want her any other way. Madi is my running partner and I look forward to training with her and doing this marathon in her honor. Hopefully we will be able to run one together one day and prove those doctors wrong.

Sign up to run with Team GCDH at the 2011 LA Marathon and raise funds for DHREAMS located at Columbia University Medical Center and their CDH Genetic Research Analyses Team in NYC.

One of the goals of collaborating with Columbia is to educate the CDH community about the DHREAMS study and invite families to enroll. We hope that our collaboration will untimely lead to a better understanding of the genetics of CDH which will in turn improve diagnosis and treatment of CDH.

For more information contact team captain Alex Magdaleno or marathon@globalcdh.org

John Reid
LA Marathon Fundraising

Target: $500.00
Raised so far: $730.00

My name is John Reid and I’m an attorney in the energy industry, having worked for Exxon, Mobil, ExxonMobil and Woodside Natural Gas, domestically and abroad. I currently am Managing Partner of Reid Larson & Associates, where our focus is on Liquefied Natural Gas and start-up industries. I am active in community matters and have also taught international business law at Santa Barbara City College.

Working overseas allowed me the chance to run in the London, Budapest and Venice marathons, of which Budapest was far and away my favorite. The upcoming Los Angeles Marathon will be the sixteenth I have done, but it will represent two firsts. Most importantly, it will be the first time I have participated in a team raising money for charity, and I am honored to do so for GDH. Secondly, it will be the first marathon where I will participate as a walker, not a runner. My personal best for running is 3:41:42 and I suspect I will be doing great as a walker if I can finish walking the course in twice the time! At any rate, it will be challenging and fun.
