A Wall Streeter raised more than $100,000 for charity after a shock phone call changed his life

Traders, bankers and analysts will compete for the crown of "Wall Street's Best Athlete" at The Decathlon on Sunday June 12.

In the span of four hours, amateur athletes from the financial services industry will go head-to-head in a 400-meter run, football throw, pull-ups, 40-yard dash, dips, 500-meter row, vertical jump, 20-yard shuttle, bench press, and an 800-meter run.

The event raises money for pediatric cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and has raised over $6 million since it started in 2009.

Adam Katz, a private wealth adviser and vice president at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, is near the top of the fundraising charts with donations of over $21,000.

Katz has participated in the event for five years in a row from 2010-2014. This year, however, he claims that he is not just a participant, but a competitor.

"This year is a new beginning," he says. "I plan to COMPETE, and find my place on the podium."
