Start Elevator’s O’Shea To Run Marathon for Cancer Research

Brothers Morty and Jack O'Shea.

Start Elevator Owner and President Jack O’Shea will run the upcoming New York City Marathon to raise awareness and funds for multiple myeloma research, yahoo finance reports. O’Shea’s marathon journey is inspired by his brother Morty O’Shea’s battle with multiple myeloma, a type of bone marrow cancer. After a diagnosis in 2013 and the cancer taking a critical turn in 2021, Morty relocated from County Donegal, Ireland, to the U.S. and received life-saving experimental treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, marking a turning point in his fight against cancer. Morty O’Shea is a priest and a devoted member of the Catholic missionary order, the Society of Our Lady of the Holy Trinity, in Ireland. Through his participation in the NYC Marathon, O’Shea aims to raise funds for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), an organization at the forefront of developing innovative treatments for this cancer, which currently has no permanent cure.
