A MESSAGE FROM Anabella Runs 26.2 for CCNY!
Hi there! I'm Anabella, a cradle Catholic who believes in a better New York City. I'm thrilled to be running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon for Catholic Charities New York on November 1, 2026.
It'll be my very first marathon (don't worry, I'm training!) and I am honored to be representing Catholic Charities. I've been serving on their Junior Board for just over two years, and it has been a fantastic opportunity to (a) foster community & fellowship with fellow Catholic young adults, and (b) make a real difference by serving New Yorkers in need.
When you donate on this page, you're not only supporting me and Catholic Charities NY, you're also supporting the ~100 independent, affiliated social service agencies & partners that make up the CCNY network. Over the past year, we have been able to:
➢ Feed 10 million meals to hungry families.
➢ Provide 11,000 individuals with overnight emergency shelter.
➢ Support & enrich the lives of 99,000 children through school programming.
Impact like this makes running just over 26 miles seem seriously manageable. But we can't do it alone. Please consider donating to my fundraising efforts for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon. No donation is too large; no donation is too large! Should you choose to donate, you will receive a letter in the mail with your acknowledgment of contribution of your fully tax-deductible gift.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly: anabellam.gal [at] gmail.com
If you are interested in joining the Junior Board, please express your interest: ccnyjuniorboard [at] gmail.com
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Hebrews 13:16
