A MESSAGE FROM Haley Blackburn
Please join me in supporting Team for Kids at the 2025 BMW Berlin Marathon. Team for Kids is a team of adult runners who raise funds to support New York Road Runners youth and community programs. Your donation will help empower youth and communities to develop and encourage healthy habits via running. Together, we can build healthier lives and stronger communities through the transformative power running.
I am partnering with Team for Kids because I know firsthand how powerful sports and movement can be in shaping a person’s confidence and resilience. I was lucky to grow up playing sports, and it gave me lifelong tools such as teamwork, discipline, and the belief that I can do hard things.
This past year, running has become a huge part of my life. It pushed me to complete my first half marathon, helped me build close friendships, and even inspired me to start a girls-only run club in NYC. I wanted to create a space where women could come together, feel supported, and build real connections because I truly believe community is everything.
By running with Team for Kids, I hope to help give that same sense of empowerment, belonging, and possibility to the next generation. Every kid deserves the chance to find their strength through movement, just like I did.
Thank you again for joining me in support of this great cause. Our finish line is active kids and communities!
