Every year, around this time, Dr. Soboroff gets ready for his own big race. He runs as many as 30 miles through the streets of New York City and beyond. This is no ordinary marathon.
This weekend thousands of runners will hit the city streets for one of the most high-profile races in the world: The New York City Marathon. But, also this month there will be another important race. It is one with far less notoriety, also for a very significant cause."It's a minimum of 26 miles. Some of them have been up to 36 but this year will be 27 to 30. on the streets of Manhattan," said Dr. Peter Soboroff.
Dr. Soboroff is a veterinarian. His office -- the New York Cat Hospital on the upper west side..works with several groups that help rescue senior felines. It went from an idea to a mission with his feet on the pavement. His annual New York Cat Hospital Senior Cat Rescue Marathon -- all by himself -- is now in its ninth year. Over all of these years, the doctor has raised more than $200k. He'll run his "one-man-marathon" later this month on his 60th birthday.
