May 17, 2025: Friends Kenneth Serrano and Charles Rogers FaceTimed from their corrals at the start of the 2025 RBC Brooklyn Half. It was the last time they spoke.
Charles suffered a cardiac arrest at about mile 8 and passed away at Maimonides Medical Center despite lifesaving efforts.
Today, Kenneth took on the 2026 RBC Brooklyn Half in Charles' honor.
Send love to Kenneth and let us honor the tragic passing of Charles, one year later. 💙🕊️⬇️
