Spotlight on Michael Bussinelli
In the months leading up to race day, November 2, 2025, we'll be putting a spotlight on each of our runners, beginning with Michael Bussinelli, a New Yorker running for a cause close to his heart.
CHC: How's your training going?
MB: Marathon training has been going great so far. Right now, I’ve been running four times a week, with the hopes in the next couple weeks to start incorporating strength conditioning so I can be in top shape come November. It’s a really fun, ongoing process and can’t wait to keep pushing my goals until race day.
CHC: Why have you chosen to support CHC?
MB: As someone who has been hard of hearing since birth, this cause couldn’t be closer to my heart. I’ve been part of the CHC family since I was just 3 years old, and they’ve been a constant source of support and community throughout my life. Running the NYC Marathon has always been a dream, a true bucket list goal. To be doing it on behalf of Team CHC makes it even more meaningful. I’m honored to run not just for myself, but for everyone who benefits from the life-changing services CHC provides.
CHC: Is there anything else you'd like to share about this experience?
MB: This is the first marathon I’ll be running, and I cannot wait until the day I run through all the boroughs and hear the crowds as I make my way to the finish line!
CHC: All of us at CHC offer a big thank you, Michael, for taking on the double challenge of your first marathon and an ambitious fundraising campaign. Best of luck!
