This week Becs is joined by Ted Metellus, the TCS New York City Marathon race director, for a roundup of this year’s marathon, including highlights of the day and record-breaking numbers. Also on the show is comedic actor Randall Park. This multifaceted talent is known for his unforgettable roles in both TV and film, including Louis Huang in Fresh Off the Boat and Jimmy Woo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This past weekend, Randall took on a different challenge by completing the TCS New York City Marathon at the age of 50, raising money for KultureCity, a nonprofit focused on sensory inclusion. Randall’s 12-year-old daughter is on the autism spectrum and has sensory needs. He not only ran for her but also for his father who passed away this year. Our Member Moment features Cynthia Marfori-Gordon, a race walker who completed her 14th New York City Marathon last Sunday, and a special Meb Minute, with HSS's Anil Nandkumar standing in for Meb to talk about Recovery.
