Two young New Yorkers who overcame traumatic brain injuries — including one who had to relearn how to walk — are using their new lease on life to run in Sunday’s city marathon. Alexa Casciano, 24, and Christian Longo, 26, are both joining the beastly race to benefit the Brain Injury Association of New York State in honor of other TBI victims who aren’t able to make the 26. 2-mile trek.
