Running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon is something I never imagined I’d take on—but here I am, committing to 26.2 miles with a purpose that truly matters to me.

I’m honored to be running as part of Team for Kids, the charitable arm of New York Road Runners. This team supports free and low-cost running and fitness programs for kids and communities, giving young people opportunities to build confidence, resilience, and healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

This journey is about more than crossing a finish line. It’s about showing up on the hard days, pushing through discomfort, and using this challenge to give back. Every mile I train and every step I take on race day will be fueled by the knowledge that your support is helping kids discover their strength—both on and off the course.

I can’t do this alone.

Your donation, no matter the size, directly supports programs that make running accessible to kids who might not otherwise have the chance. It means more opportunities, more confidence, and more futures changed for the better.

Thank you for believing in me, supporting this goal, and helping make every mile count.

With gratitude,

Anthony
