A MESSAGE FROM Alex's Fundraising Page
A year ago, I decided I would take on a new challenge and run my first marathon in my hometown of Virginia. I quickly fell in love with running and discovered a deeper passion for fitness. This led me to develop a run club geared towards people who value fitness above speed. I wanted a space where people of different fitness backgrounds could come and run (or walk) together without worrying about speed.
I was also invited to be an assistant coach for my local marathon training team. I'm so excited for the opportunities and communities that have been placed in my life that allow me to focus on health and fitness.
These are just some of the reasons why I have partnered with the NYRR Team for Kids to fundraise for my spot in the New York Marathon. I believe it's essential to provide children with the knowledge and confidence to lead healthy and active lives.
