Andrea Greer ’83 finished the New York City Marathon on November 6, fifteen months after a severe brain injury. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Andrea developed a rare condition called delayed post-hypoxic demyelination that caused her to lose her sight, hearing, and memory due to oxygen deprivation. Her recovery at NYU Rusk is ongoing, and her completing the marathon was a major milestone.

Andrea ran for Achilles NYC, an organization that transforms the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection. She crossed the finish line with her coach, Holly, as her family and friends cheered her on.

Congratulations, Andrea! 

Watch Andrea cross the finish line.
