I am honored to run the NY Marathon on behalf of Team First Candle, who support research and services to help ensure families don't have to suffer the horrific loss of babies and infants due to SIDS.
This one is personal: My fertility and pregnancy journey was challenging, complicated and emotional (3 miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy, a failed IVF cycle, geriatric viable pregnancy, placenta praevia, emergency c-section – phew)!
I am so blessed to now have a wonderful 6-year-old daughter. So, I can personally appreciate how gut wrenching the journey to motherhood can be, and how anxiety-ridden those early days with an infant can be; especially for those with limited access and resources. Enter Team First Candle.
As most of you know, I’m also a daily runner in the midst of 3+ year daily running streak. I ran the London Marathon in October. And, now I'm really looking forward to adding the iconic NY Marathon medal to my case (finally!), and in support of such a great and meaningful cause.
I’d really appreciate any support you can give me and Team First Candle.
[MANY of you have supported many of my runs in the past, THANK YOU!]
And for my New York fam and friends…hope to see you along the course on the day!
