A MESSAGE FROM James' Fundraising Page
Running the New York Marathon is more than just crossing the finish line—it's a journey of perseverance, determination, and hope. For many runners, the marathon is a dream come true, but it’s also an opportunity to give back to a cause that matters deeply. That’s why I’m excited to support SuitUp for the 2025 NY Marathon.
For me, running has always been about pushing beyond my limits. Whether it’s overcoming a tough training run or finding the strength to keep going when my body wants to quit, running teaches me resilience. But this year, I want my run to be about something even bigger than my personal challenge.
I’m proud to join the SuitUp team because they help transform lives in such a meaningful way. SuitUp is dedicated to empowering underrepresented young people by providing professional attire and mentorship programs that help them succeed in internships, interviews, and beyond. Their mission aligns perfectly with the spirit of the marathon—pushing forward, achieving your goals, and helping others do the same.
This year, I’m not just running for myself—I’m running for the young people SuitUp serves. Every mile I run is a tribute to their potential, their ambition, and their bright futures. Your support helps ensure that more young individuals have the tools and guidance they need to step confidently into their careers.
I know the marathon will be tough, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges that many of these young people face every day. By supporting SuitUp, you’re helping them dress for success, but more importantly, you’re helping them dream bigger and achieve more. Your donation fuels their journey as much as mine.
So as I take every step towards the finish line in November, I’ll be running with purpose, knowing that together we can make a real difference. I ask you to join me in supporting this amazing cause—whether by donating, sharing this story, or simply cheering us on. Let’s make the 2025 NY Marathon not just a race, but a movement to empower the next generation.
Together, we can suit up success.
Every donation helps!
