Hey friends — I’m running the 2026 NYC Marathon, and I need your help to get to the starting line.

I discovered running back in high school — and like many good habits, I dropped it for a while. But a few years (and a lot of life) later, I picked it back up. These days, running is how I reset, reflect, and push toward something bigger.

To earn my spot at the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon, I’m raising $1,500 for Team for Kids and completing a virtual marathon this year as part of the qualification process. The deadline to hit my fundraising goal is October 15, 2025.  

Team for Kids supports youth fitness and community wellness by funding free running-based programs for kids across the country. Your donation helps create access to movement, confidence, and healthier habits — starting young and lasting a lifetime.

Here’s the deal:
✅ I train (and occasionally question my life choices)
✅ You donate (whatever feels right)
✅ Together we help kids fall in love with running

Every dollar makes a difference. Whether it’s $5 or $50, I’d be honored to have your support. Let’s make this marathon count for more than just miles.

🧡💙 Wahoowa,
Dave
