Lawrence Cox - Greensboro, NC
“This is my ninth marathon and second NYC Marathon (I ran my first in 1997). When USTA Serves sent out their email about their partnership with the ING NYC Marathon, I immediately began to fill out my application since I love running and tennis and I have been a USTA Member since 2004. Tennis and running are both lifetime sports that help in teaching sportsmanship and positive character. Dedicating my marathon experience to helping children enhance their lives through tennis is extremely rewarding. I am thrilled to be running the ING NYC Marathon to support USTA Serves’ charitable programs, which support at-risk youth and people with special needs through the integration of tennis and education.”
