A MESSAGE FROM 💫 Run Hard, Give Big — with Katherine
🏃♀️ I’m running 26.2 miles — on purpose — for girls who run with purpose. 🏃♀️
This November, I’ll be running the 2025 NYC Marathon, which is both exciting and objectively questionable life decision #143. I’m not a lifelong athlete. I didn’t grow up dreaming about finish lines. But I am stubborn, and I believe in showing up — especially for causes that matter.
I’m running to raise money for the Girls Gotta Run Foundation, an incredible organization that invests in girls in Ethiopia by using running and education as tools for empowerment. While I get to run with thousands through the streets of New York, these young women run toward opportunity, independence, and futures they’re shaping on their own terms.
Your donation supports scholarships, athletic gear, mentoring, and access to education — all of which help girls stay in school, delay early marriage, and build strong communities.
Me? I’ll be out there sweating, chafing, and negotiating with my knees for 26.2 miles. You? You can help from the comfort of your couch.
💙 If you’ve ever believed in me, now’s the time.
👟 If you’ve ever doubted me — even better reason to give.
🎯 Every dollar gets me closer to my goal, and more importantly, gets a girl closer to hers.
Thanks for the support (and for not laughing too hard at the thought of me doing this).
-Katherine
