A MESSAGE FROM Building Stronger Communities, One Mile at a Time
I’m running the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half with ActivePlus, and this time I’m not just running for a finish line. I’m running for people who don’t always get the chance to show up on theirs.
ActivePlus works with under-resourced communities to give kids and families access to fitness, mentorship, and the confidence that comes from being part of something bigger. Growing up, I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a difference it makes when someone gives you a space to move, a team that supports you, or a reason to believe in yourself. Now as an adult, I realize those simple opportunities aren’t guaranteed for everyone.
Running has done a lot for me. It’s shaped my discipline, my mental health, and introduced me to a community that pushes me to be better. I want to use that for something more than my own goals. ActivePlus helps create that same access for people who need it most, and that’s exactly the kind of mission I want my miles to support.
If you’re able to contribute, every dollar goes toward programs that keep kids active, engaged, and supported year-round.
If you can’t donate, even sharing this goes a long way.
Thanks for helping me make these miles count.
