In 2014, Randy Andreozzi completed the Disney Marathon in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. He ran the marathon in honor of an 11 year old boy named Alex Freund of Lancaster, New York. Some of the firm’s employees also made the trip to support Randy’s run and Alex’s fight. This event was a huge success, as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society raised 2.5 million dollars to help find a cure! Mr. Andreozzi will be participating in the marathon again in January 2017!
