A MESSAGE FROM DEE VALLADARES
I’m honored to run the 2025 NYC Marathon for Good Sports—a national nonprofit that donates brand new equipment, apparel, and footwear to kids in low-income communities. By partnering with brands like Nike and Under Armour, Good Sports helps break down the financial barriers that keep too many children from the lifelong benefits of sports.
As someone whose life was shaped by access to sports at a young age, this mission hits close to home. From my early days in Judo to winning Survivor, the confidence, resilience, and community I found through sports changed everything for me.
Every mile is for the kid who just needs a chance—and every dollar raised brings us closer to a world where all kids can play, grow, and thrive.
Thank you sooooo much for your support!
