A MESSAGE FROM Maria runs in costumes to run NYC 2025
Hey friends! I’m on a mission to hit the NYC Marathon in 2025, and I need your help. I’m raising $3,000 for Team for Kids to get to the start line—and I promise, the journey there is going to be as epic as the marathon itself!
To make it extra memorable, I’ll be running a 5K for every $1,000 raised, dressed up in some iconic (and possibly ridiculous) costumes at amazing NYC locations.
Here’s what you’re in for:
• $1,000 - Central Park 5K: Catch me buzzing around the park dressed as a giant honey bee!
• $2,000 - Hudson River 5K: Time to make a splash… as a dinosaur stomping along the waterfront!
• $3,000 - DUMBO waterfront 5K: Nothing says NYC like the Statue of Liberty in full torch-and-crown glory.
Every dollar brings me closer to this goal and to these unforgettable runs across the city. Plus, your support goes straight to Team for Kids, helping young runners everywhere. Let’s make this journey epic—one donation, one costume, one iconic NYC spot at a time!
