A MESSAGE FROM Britt & Brianne's Fundraising Page
Please support our fundraising efforts for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon! We'll be running to support First Candle, an organization committed to the elimination of SIDS, other sleep-related infant deaths and stillbirth bereavement.
But why run 26.2 miles and raise $8,000 you ask?! Well, aside from "Uncle Jack" convincing us after completing his 8th marathon and a celebratory cocktail, infant loss is near and dear to our family.
Brianne and her husband, Greg, lost their first child in June 2015. Mary Grace Szep was stillborn at 24 weeks gestation. This unimaginable loss 9 years ago, continues to impact our entire family and gives us the strength and motivation to support those enduring similar losses.
Brianne is supported by her husband Greg and three beautiful children, Reagan (7), Colin (5) and Aidan (1) while she takes on the amazing challenge of 26.2 miles!
Brittany, who works as a clinical social worker, has recently obtained certification in perinatal mental health. Brittany specializes in working with women who are experiencing mental health issues related to pregnancy, loss, birth trauma, and postpartum challenges.
While Brittany ran the NYC marathon in 2013, her running sneakers have collected dust while focusing her attention on her three children, Owen (6), Patrick (4), and Keira (1). Brittany's husband, Dan, continues to be her biggest cheerleader, supporting her every step of the way.
Please consider donating (no amount is too small!) to this amazing cause. We are so grateful to all of our family and friends who are helping to make this passion project a reality!
