Hi! I’m honored to be running the NYC Marathon in support of Planned Parenthood! The non-profit has been an essential part of my life ever since I joined the Colgate University chapter my freshman year, as I was passionate about reproductive rights and eager to find a community that shared those values. As club president for two years, I stood among an inspiring network of peers fighting for reproductive justice, access, and education.
Planned Parenthood provides quality, affordable health care to all—regardless of income, identity, or insurance. While abortion access is a vital part of their mission, Planned Parenthood offers so much more: cancer screenings, mental health services, STI treatment, prenatal and postpartum care, sex education, LGBTQ+ youth support, vaccines—and that’s just the beginning.
With the funding cuts and attacks under the current administration, your donation is all the more essential. Planned Parenthood centers are being targeted and excluded from using Title X funds, which is the only federal program devoted to providing affordable reproductive and sexual health care to people with low incomes, jeopardizing health care access for millions of people. Any size donation helps support this incredible organization!
Thank you in advance for your contribution. It means the world to me to have this opportunity to support such an impactful organization during these unprecedented times.
