A MESSAGE FROM Jennifer takes on NYC... again!
I'm taking on the TCS New York City Marathon for the sixth time. Truth is, I booked my 2026 hotel room before I was out of the city and still fresh with 2025 pain.
New York Road Runners (NYRR) is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the course as we know it today… 26.2 miles through all five 5 boroughs of NYC. I’ll be on the heels of my 50th birthday. Seems perfectly logical I should do it one more time. More importantly, I’ll be supporting Team Allied Services and You and raising crucial funds to improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities, life-changing injuries, and chronic conditions.
I feel excited for this year’s journey, and my hope is to do it better than I have thus far.

Any donation will help get me get to my fundraising goal, and I appreciate them all equally. If you find yourself in a position to give a few dollars more, I am happy to dedicate a mile or landmark to you. $50 donors can choose one of the 26 miles, $100 one of the five bridges. Having these dedications really gets me through those miles, especially when I want to give up.
