"What an AMAZING & AWESOME day!!!!" Mabee wrote on Twitter after the fact. The mom-of-two ran for Fred's Team to raise money for breast cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and she told POPSUGAR that she was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma breast cancer in October of 2019. Since then, she's had a double mastectomy in addition to three other surgeries and one more coming this month. She also went through chemotherapy.
While Nov. 7 was Mabee's first New York City Marathon, it was her second marathon to date. "This was always a bucket list of mine and after beating cancer, I needed to do it!!!" she said.
