Ugandan men’s running team member Edward Mukasa is used to helping others, but when he got into a bit of a bind last February he called on his friend, Josh Pesin, to help him out.
Of course, Pesin, 53, whom many Islanders know as the publicity director and webmaster for the Staten Island Athletic Club, was only too glad to help.
