Peter and Karena Bullock Bailey ran the TCS NYC marathon Nov. 2 for B*CURED to raise awareness and fund research for brain cancer. Karena lost her mom eight years ago to brain cancer. The team raised more than $160,000. Although it was a crazy, exhilarating experience, Karena will stick to other forms of fundraising that require less running. * After spending 10 wonderful years as a physics professor at Castleton State College, Catherine Garland is leaving Vermont for New York City.
