Miles for Mark (B.E. F.A.S.T.) is a running race on December 13, 2026 in Brooklyn, NY, with an entry fee of $40.
Join us for a benefit 5K to support Mark Lewandowski, a former Prospect Park employee whose life took an unexpected turn after his dedicated work supporting conservation efforts in Madagascar.
Mark is now wheelchair bound and requires ongoing medical care and assistance. This fundraiser aims to raise critical funds for a specially equipped van to transport Mark to his physical therapy appointments and help him maintain his independence and quality of life.
Your participation directly supports Mark's recovery and well-being. Whether you run, walk, or volunteer, every contribution makes a difference in helping Mark access the care he needs.
