He is one of the
greatest distance runners in school history. Dietrich Mosel (Class of 2018) had
a wonderful career here, posting the second-fastest 5km time in school history
(14:19.14), among his many highlights. During his four years at Marist, we
forged an unusually close coach-athlete relationship. Our hours-long
conversations were well-known among his teammates. Pre- and post-race analyses
on the road would go on for a long time with conversations on the bus ride home
or in the hotel lobby over breakfast. In these past two years, Deet has forged
a remarkably successful career in the world of finance. But during this upward
mobility time, we have fallen out of touch. Those long conversations have been
punctuated by way-too-long intervals. Last night, we finally caught up after
months of no communication. We barely scratched the surface on many topics.
Being an old guy, I tend to repeat myself and/or drag out stories. And Deet is
well-known for making a simple 5-minute story into a 15-minute miniseries. It’s
great stuff and I miss it terribly. Hopefully, these long talks will resume as
we remain restricted by the pandemic.
Anyway, once again a
long-winded introduction to what I really want to tell everyone about: On
Saturday, Dietrich is embarking upon a 50-mile run in Queens, to help raise
money for frontline workers. Rather than try to retell it in my usual
roundabout way, here is Deet’s fundraising letter and here is the link to donate.
I’ll be reporting on Deet’s 50-miler after he’s done. For now, please consider contributing. And good luck, Deet!
Hi Everyone,
My name is Dietrich Mosel and I am on a mission to run 50 miles to help raise money for St Francis Hospital in Roslyn, NY. Coronavirus has left us down but not out and I would like to help fight for those keeping us safe in addition to all who were, and currently are, affected.
Due to some true inspiration and courage from one of my good friends, who ran to raise money for frontline workers, I am embarking on a run of my own to bring attention and necessary relief to those who truly need it. More specifically, your donations will make an impact through the following funds:
1. Crisis Response / Recovery Fund - Donations will help to purchase equipment, personal protective equipment and provide frontline workers / staff with much needed help. More specifically, through mental health and therapy programs, financial hardship collections and additional endeavors as the Hospital discovers critical needs along the way.
2. Staff Appreciation Fund - Monies raised will directly benefit all St. Francis Hospital (SFH) staff who have been impacted by the virus, this will continue to evolve over time.
3. Needy Persons Fund - This program supports patients whom cannot afford medications or treatments.
Any donation amount would be much appreciated and will certainly go a long way!
If you can do so in a safe way, definitely feel free to lace up and virtually join me for part, or all, of my run on May 30th at 6:00AM EST at Flushing Meadows Park!
Since 50 miles might take a while, my friend, and longtime running partner, Nick Adamo, is kind enough to bike alongside me and provide a livestream if you'd like to tune in.
We will be live-streaming the event, via Instagram, from this profile:

Thank you, in advance, for your support and help in these challenging times. Together, we can truly all make a difference.
Stay safe and healthy,
