Just minutes into the New York City Marathon, Jennifer Suarez's iPod quit. Panic flooded her mind and she wondered how on earth she could finish a full marathon without music. Fortunately, the 2.5 million supporters who cheered all of the runners on during the 26.2-mile route through Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem and the Bronx, kept her spirits high. "The streets were just packed," said Suarez of Midland. "They had bands and singers lining the streets. There was just such a bustle of activity." In the months before the marathon, which took place earlier this month, Suarez was hard at work both training and raising money for Fred's Team. Fred Lebow, founder of the NYC Marathon, was diagnosed with brain cancer and died in 1994. He spent much of his time raising awareness as well as money for cancer research.
