A MESSAGE FROM Fundraiser for NYC Half Marathon March ‘24 Supporting Recovery
Welcome! I’ll be running the 2024 NYC Half Marathon in partnership with Release Recovery this upcoming March. I appreciate you taking a moment to read why and for your support. Together, we can make a difference. 

It's with pride that I share the fact that I am in recovery from alcoholism and addiction. My road to sobriety started in 2019, but it's been far from a straight path. Little by little, and with a ton of help, I've built up a program of recovery that now allows me to run around this world of ours free from the grips of drugs and alcohol.  Running has become one of the more significant parts of my journey…every mile of a half or full marathon helps my recovery. 

Formal treatment has been invaluable and something that not everyone is fortunate enough to have access to. I'm hoping to use the tools and relationships I’ve built to help others struggling. Release Recovery Foundation helps people like me obtain proper treatment that they otherwise couldn't afford. I’ll be running the NYC Half Marathon this Spring to raise money to support this cause and provide others with the scholarship and opportunity for good treatment.

I have a full life as a direct result of my recovery and I'd love to help others receive this same gift.  Please consider donating to the campaign, every bit matters, and we'll make a difference together!

The Release Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to ensuring all who are ready and willing to seek professional treatment, are able. Substance Use Disorder and mental illness destroy the lives of too many people from underserved communities who may not have the resources for proven treatments. The Release Foundation offers scholarships to bridge the gap between what people can afford and what they need to transform their lives, regardless of race, gender, and/or sexual orientation.
