MEET OUR RUNNERS

SATYAM BEE
	Satyam is Associate General Counsel at KPMG and a member of LSNYC's Pro Bono Associate Advisory Board. This is Satyam's first marathon! His favorite places to train are on the Brooklyn waterfront and Promenade, and in Prospect Park. "Knowing my efforts will translate directly into more New Yorkers getting the legal help they need and deserve is an incredible motivator," Satyam says. The marathon is the same day as his daughter's birthday, so he plans to celebrate with cake. Click here to support Satyam.

ERIC PHILLIPS
	Eric is an attorney for the city of New York. He is proud to run the marathon for LSNYC, to represent "an organization whose dedicated attorneys work every day to help low-income New Yorkers." Although Eric ran cross country in high school and college and has completed two half-marathons, this is his first marathon. Eric is connected to the NYC Marathon, though, since he was even born on a NYC Marathon Sunday! He is looking forward to the stack of chocolate-chip pancakes he will have after the marathon.

CHELSEA SAHAI
	Chelsea is a Pro Bono Coordinating Attorney at LSNYC. This is Chelsea's first marathon, and she is training by running four days a week. She loves to explore the city by running through neighborhoods she's never been to before to help keep things interesting. She is proud to be representing LSNYC in the marathon, since "running (and working) for LSNYC means you're a part of a team." She plans to celebrate finishing the marathon with "Netflix and carbs!"

JOSHUA WRIGHT
	Joshua is an associate with Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and a member of LSNYC's pro bono associate advisory board. Not only is this year's marathon his first, it is also his first race!

ABOUT LSNYC

For almost 50 years, LSNYC has improved the lives and communities of low-income New Yorkers. As the country’s largest provider of free civil legal services, we solve both heart-wrenching individual problems — eviction, domestic violence, loss of income — and address their underlying causes through litigation and advocacy. Last year, our advocates helped more than 90,000 New Yorkers living in poverty secure the essentials of life: shelter, safety, subsistence income, and access to health care and education.
