A MESSAGE FROM Sowmya Sundararajan’s fundraising page for the NY Marine Rescue Center
I am excited to share that I will be running this year’s New York City marathon to raise awareness and funds for the NY Marine Rescue Center! 

I chose to apply for this charity on my milestone year (yes, the big 50!) to honor and cherish all that I’ve been passionate about in my life. On my lowest days here, I ground myself when I go back in time to some of my greatest memories around sea turtle conservation walks in my early 20s, in Madras (now Chennai, in India)! The joy of watching giant Olive Ridleys nest late into the night, and to then come back to see hundreds of hatchlings dig themselves out of the sand and find their way into the water are sights I’ll never forget; and, to share this with a community of peers and students with disabilities by engaging and including them in these walks, made the conversation around conservation far more special and rewarding! 

The Olive Ridley turtle has always sustained me as my spirit animal and it feels just perfectly timed to give back to the Ridley and other marine animals through this fund raiser! 

Please support my fundraising efforts for the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon. This will also be my 4th world major (and my 8th in total) marathon! No donation is too small. Please click on the donate button!
Thank you so much!
