A MESSAGE FROM Katie's Run for Climate Change
Hi friends and fam! I am SO excited to have been chosen to run in the 2026 New York Marathon - my first marathon ever! While I can't wait to run my little heart out, this race means more to me than just crossing the finish line. I'm running for Heal The Planet, who's mission is to spread awareness to children about the increasingly pressing challenges of climate change and the health of our environment. As an issue that I feel passionately about, to be supporting an organization built on educating and empowering young voices is so inspiring! Heal The Planet turns concern into action through partnerships, innovative education, and community programs. We are all connected to nature more than we realize, and learning to live responsibly with the planet rather than at its expense is vital to pass along to younger generations and to create a sustainable future. I have always dreamed of participating in the New York Marathon and being a part of this race feels like proof that anyone can do incredible things, like run 26.2 miles, or raise $4,000! Hot people can do hard things. When our minds and hearts are in the right place, we are capable of so much! Every donation, every dollar, every penny raised means the world to me, and of course, directly supports an incredible cause. If somehow I am not able to reach my fundraising goal for Heal The Planet, I'll be required to pay the difference out of pocket, so any and all contributions are truly SO appreciated, no matter how big or small. Never let anyone doubt your potential, and thank you so much for supporting my cause and believing in me!❤️
