Cory Wharton Misses NYC Marathon After Daughter Has Arm Surgery
Cory Wharton missed the New York City Marathon after his 6-year-old daughter Mila broke her arm and needed surgery.
Wharton, a reality TV personality, said the injury meant he could not travel to New York for the race he had trained for.
Mila is his daughter with Taylor Selfridge, while his 4-year-old daughter Maya has a rare congenital heart defect.
Wharton had planned to run in part to support research into congenital heart defects, and his fundraising effort brought in $12,000.
He said that money mattered more to him than finishing the race.
Maya is continuing her recovery, and Wharton said she is doing well and beginning to talk more.

What people are saying
Mila ended up breaking her arm and had to have surgery yesterday. As a dad, there’s nothing worse than seeing your babies in pain.
Unfortunately, that also meant I wasn’t able to make it to NYC to run the marathon this year.
But one thing I AM proud of is that we raised $12,000 for congenital heart defect research. That means more to me than any finish line ever could.
