A Stedsman on...

Digenan (back, right) with his fans

... the run. But what's he running away from? Or, rather, in this case, what's he running to? Yes, what is Patrick Digenan '20 running to? The finish line of the New York Marathon, of course. As if he didn't have an enough to do working in L.A., Digenan decided to train, hop on a plane from the west coast, and run a marathon on the east coast. But Digenan wasn't the only one to make the trek to the Big Apple on marathon day. Fellow Stedsmen and girlfriend, Julia, were present to cheer the Steds running man on, and it appears that their cheering and Patrick's training paid off as Digenan finished... and in a respectable time too. But what was Digenan's secret to doing so well? On finishing the marathon in fine style, Digenan shared, “It was good to see friends and family come out to support the event, but what gave me the fortitude to finish the race was on knowing that the kids would win in the end. That, and the open tab at Patty Clarney’s after the race.”

But wanting to share his two cents too, Patrick's younger brother, John, added to the lauding of Patrick. On his older brother's marathon run, John Digenan, Steds sophomore and Vice President, added, "It was a great sight to see Patrick finish the NYC Marathon this weekend for a charitable cause. What was even greater to see, however, was the presence of Steds Alumni to support them. The Steds family really is something to behold."
