Building communities around all modes of transportation doesn't just make for more vibrant neighborhoods; more importantly, it makes them safer. Motor vehicle crashes, including drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians struck by vehicles, are the leading cause of death for people ages 5-24. This is preventable. It comes down to how we design our streets and cities.

That's why I'm running the NYC Marathon for Transportation Alternatives, an organization fighting every day for safer streets, better transit, and more livable communities.

This is also a huge bucket list item for me personally. Running has brought me so much joy (and yes, plenty of pain too!). Thank you for being part of this journey with me
