The Ace Hotel New York team is running a half marathon in April to support Hope Lodge in NYC, which offers free living spaces for cancer patients and their families when they travel to New York for treatment. Someone described it as “a free hotel, but for cancer patients.” Hope Lodge is that and more. They also provide meditation spaces, yoga classes, a grand piano, full kitchens, and community support to their guests.

Several battle-hardened Ace Hotel and American Cancer Society employees have taken it upon themselves to run the 13.1 Marathon New York on April 3rd. (R)ACE FOR HOPE plans to raise more than $5,000 to support this amazing organization, guided by our fearless leaders, Jan and Rob.

We’re committed to helping our community and we’re running so that Hope Lodge can continue to provide these critical services to patients and their caregivers.

We’re also hoping to get photos of Jan and Rob in running shorts. Stay tuned for that.
