Running a marathon has always been about more than the finish line for me. After years of personal and family health challenges, I know how valuable every opportunity is to move forward, stay active, and set a meaningful goal. I believe I still have a few marathons in me, and I want the 2026 Virtual TCS New York City Marathon to count for something bigger than myself. I am running with Team for Kids because every child deserves the chance to build a healthier future. Donations support New York Road Runners youth and community programs, giving young people free access to running, events, and resources that encourage confidence and healthy habits. My goal is to raise $2,000 by October 14. If you can donate, share this page, or encourage someone else to support the campaign, you will help me move closer to my finish line while helping kids move toward stronger, healthier lives. Thank you for being part of this journey. One more marathon for me can help create many more beginnings for them.
