Eileen Shanahan, Founder of Warrior Ranch Foundation and Legislator Steven J. Fotteron recognized Eva Casale who for her third time stopped at the Ranch in Calverton during her Team EVA (Every Veteran Appreciated) 7 Marathons 7 Days in Suffolk County.
Ms. Casale, a Glen Cove resident donated a kidney to a complete stranger in 2006 and has since continued to live her life around helping others. Whether it was personal sacrifice, supporting causes anyway she could, she has been responsible for raising more than $375K. Her abilities in running great distances, has given her an avenue to play an even bigger role in charitable causes.
