I’m excited to announce that I will be running the TCS New York City Marathon through all five boroughs on November 2, 2025, with Team NYJL! This will be my first marathon and no short of a major challenge! The New York Junior League (NYJL) is a nonprofit organization that’s very close to my heart. I’ve been volunteering with them for the past five years. Team NYJL is a group of dedicated volunteers and supporters who run the marathon to support the NYJL and its mission of improving the lives of women and children in our community. The NYJL is made up of 2,800 women, myself included, who contribute over 260,000 hours of volunteer service annually to create positive change for women, children, and families in New York City. You can learn more about our work here: https://www.nyjl.org/ I’m so honored to have this opportunity—but I need your help to make it a reality. Please consider making a gift toward my fundraising goal of $3,500. I would be incredibly grateful for any donation, no matter the size. All contributions will directly support the NYJL’s mission to promote volunteerism, develop the potential of women, and improve communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Funds raised from this event will support the volunteer work I do throughout the year. I’m part of a team that hosts programming for two local youth shelters, including community dinners and developmental activities for the residents. I’d love to share more with you—thank you so much for your support!
