As a kid, I was lucky to have the freedom to run around, play, and try different activities. But as I got older, I realized that not every child around me had those same opportunities. That’s one of the reasons I joined Team for Kids, to help make sure kids everywhere have access to movement, play, and programs that build confidence and lifelong healthy habits.

Team for Kids is a group of adult runners (like me!) raising funds to support New York Road Runners' youth and community programs. These programs bring running-based fitness and wellness opportunities to kids of all backgrounds across the U.S.

By donating, you’re helping give children the tools, space, and support to move their bodies, believe in themselves, and feel part of something bigger. Every contribution, no matter the size, truly makes a difference.

To donate, just follow the steps on this page.
Thank you for being part of this mission.

Because at the end of the day, the real finish line isn’t the race - it’s stronger, healthier kids and communities.
