A MESSAGE FROM Cait’s NYC Marathon Fundraising Page
Hi!
My name is Cait, and this year I will be running my first NYC Marathon through an incredible organization called Team For Kids! While I've always enjoyed running, it wasn't until I joined the OrangeTheory community five years ago that I discovered the impact running has had on me physically, mentally, and emotionally. Truth be told, a big reason why I want to shoot my shot at a marathon is because deep down, I have doubts and fears, and I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to make it happen. I know the work that lies ahead, but I am committing to leveling up in a way I truly never have before. I'm excited (and maybe a bit crazy) to endure the ups and downs of training and all it will teach me up until race day.
As a middle school teacher, I understand how difficult it is to be a kid in today's evolving environment. I have to constantly remind my students that achieving success doesn't always come instantly; it takes struggles, extra practice, and most of all, patience with yourself. That said, I am proud to fundraise for Team For Kids, an organization dedicated to getting kids off of screens and into healthy, active habits from young ages.
Please join me in supporting Team for Kids, a team of adult runners who raise funds to support New York Road Runners youth and community programs. Your donation will help empower youth and communities to develop and encourage healthy habits via running. Together, we can build healthier lives and stronger communities through the transformative power running. To donate, just follow the steps below.
