Team CSC United at the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon

The Cancer Support Community (CSC), a prominent nonprofit organization committed to supporting individuals affected by cancer, is all set to participate in the upcoming 2026 TCS New York City Marathon. This event will feature Team CSC United, which will consist of a diverse group of runners from all over the country. The team’s goal is memorable—running 26.2 miles not just for physical fitness, but to raise critical funds and awareness about the invaluable resources CSC offers.

As an official charity partner, Team CSC United is on a mission to highlight CSC's offerings, which include free educational resources, community support programs, and navigation services specifically tailored for those impacted by cancer. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to ensuring that essential cancer support remains accessible to everyone at all times.

Fundraising Goals and Participant Commitment

The team's astoundingly ambitious fundraising target is set at $50,000. Each runner is tasked with raising a minimum of $5,000, demonstrating their commitment to the cause and helping to sustain CSC’s mission of supporting those affected by cancer.

Among the notable participants is actor Colin Egglesfield, a three-time cancer survivor and a passionate advocate for cancer awareness. Having battled both testicular and prostate cancer, Egglesfield uses his experiences to motivate others. "I’m running the New York City Marathon with Cancer Support Community because I'm eternally grateful for all the support I received during my three cancer battles. This is my way to give back and ensure that others know they are not alone in their battles. Through the work of CSC, there is hope beyond measure for what is possible," he shared.

Colin’s presence on the team adds a personal touch, as it draws attention to the personal journeys of cancer survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, all of whom will be part of Team CSC United. Each member's story echoes themes of resilience, hope, and the importance of community in overcoming challenges related to cancer.

The Marathon Experience

As the runners prepare to embark on their journey from Staten Island to the iconic finish line in Central Park, they carry not just their own aspirations but also the collective hopes of countless individuals affected by cancer. Every mile covered during the marathon serves as a testament to resilience and the transformative power of community support.

Not only does this marathon represent a physical endeavor, but it also stands as a powerful platform for advocacy and awareness. Team CSC United invites everyone to join their cause—whether by participating, donating, or simply spreading the word about the resources available to cancer patients and their families.
