DEER PARK-NORTH BABYLON, NY - From Deer Park School District: To make a difference in the fight against multiple sclerosis, Deer Park High School student Robert Depre ascended the Empire State Building on March 3 as part of the “Climb to the Top NYC 2019” initiative. The 15-year-old, with his sisters Jennifer and Stephanie who joined him for the 28-minute climb, raised $1,365 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

“I participated because I wanted to help people suffering from MS,” Depre said. “It was an awesome experience and I’d definitely participate again next year.”
