This Thanksgiving, you can make a difference in the community by donating to the Food & Fund Drive for the Atlanta Community Food Bank. ?? During the Invesco QQQ Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon & 5K Number Pickup this Saturday and Sunday, and next Wednesday until 1:00 p.m., we're accepting donations of canned foods, non-perishable foods, and other needed items for a family in need. Look for the drop-off location by volunteer check-in at Number Pickup each day!

The same week Scott Cohen - runner, triathlete and Kilometer Kids supporter - found out he was selected to run the NYC Marathon for Kilometer Kids, he slammed into a hurdle: He also received a cancer diagnosis. A few months later, he didn't let his diagnosis stop him from achieving his goals for a cause near to his heart and eventually conquered 26.2 miles of the Big Apple.
