FREEVILLE, NY (607NewsNow) — Tyler Beck, a member of Beck Farms in Freeville, surpassed the fundraising goal he set for his New York City Marathon run.

The fundraising campaign, ‘Miles for Milk’, supported the American Dairy Association North East’s Fill A Glass with Hope® charitable program in partnership with Feeding New York State. Beck aimed to raise $1,000 for every mile ran in the marathon, for a total of 26.2 miles, and ended up exceeding his goal through various donations.
