A MESSAGE FROM Go Juan Go
Hi everyone! This year, I'll be running the ICONIC NYC Marathon!
I'm so excited to run my first marathon. I've been a part-time, secret runner for a few years, but recently set a goal to take a casual hobby to the next level.
I am running the Marathon to support Transportation Alternatives, a local non-profit that supports safe, sustainable, and equitable streets. My goal is to raise at least $4,000 for the TA, but I'm going to need your help.
Why this organization? Growing up right outside NYC, my family never had a car. We walked to our friends and families' houses nearby, and took buses for trips to the mall, the park, and local restaurants. At the time, I didn't realize how important street design and reliable public transportation were to our lives and those of people in our neighborhood. Transportation Alternatives provides resources, programming, and advocacy to help New Yorkers get around safely, affordably, and easily. They help support investment in public transportation, safer streets, increased bike paths, and Open Streets. I believe that streets are a shared commodity, and want to do my part to ensure that New Yorkers, especially the most disenfranchised, feel empowered to play, hang, and own their streets.
So please, consider donating a few bucks to support this campaign and my first maration. Thank you in advance!
