"Hi I'm Kristi! I’m from the charming hamlet of Latham, NY. Since I was born, I've had the privilege of knowing and being close to the Urban family. Their journey with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) has deeply inspired me and fueled my commitment to raising awareness and funds for this important cause. Be in a room with Jon for just ten minutes and you’ll understand why the 4U Foundation has been so successful over the past few years. His energy and love of life are inspiring and infectious.

I'm thrilled to be participating in this year's MSA fundraising event for the second year in a row. Joining the MSA team has brought running back into my life in a beautiful way, and combining it with a cause as important as this makes every step even more meaningful. Outside of running, I enjoy strength training, reading, playing cards, traveling and teaching. 

I'd love for you to join us in this important cause! Whether you can donate or just help spread the word, every bit counts. Your support makes a huge difference for the 4U Foundation and everyone affected by MSA. Thank you for being part of this amazing journey with me!."

Meet Aubrie Baker, a dedicated New York State Trooper from Columbia County, NY. Aubrie isn't just about enforcing the law; she's also deeply committed to making a positive impact beyond her badge.

Since 2021, she's been passionately involved in the Miles for MSA challenge, running with purpose and determination. Aubrie's motivation for participating in the Miles for MSA challenge is personal. She shares a close bond with the Urban Family, driving her to support their cause.

But her commitment doesn't stop there. She sees fundraising as an opportunity not just to help those she knows but also to contribute to causes that resonate with her broader community. Long before her involvement in fundraising, she's been a runner and fitness enthusiast.

For Aubrie, running isn't just about staying physically fit; it's a powerful tool for managing stress and anxiety. Each stride helps her find clarity and peace amidst the demands of her career and life. Aubrie embodies the spirit of service both on and off-duty, demonstrating that making a difference isn't confined to the confines of a uniform but is woven into the fabric of everyday life.
