A MESSAGE FROM Meryll
From Geneva to the Big Apple: Dancing My Way to the NYC Marathon for Laureus!
Hey everyone! Get ready to lace up your virtual running shoes because I'm about to embark on an epic adventure – my very first full marathon, and it's none other than the iconic New York City Marathon!
And the best part? I'm doing it all to raise vital funds for Laureus, supporting kids through the power of sport.
For those who don't know me, I'm based in Geneva and my heart has always had a rhythm of its own.
Growing up, I was a dancer – a passion I still pursue today! For 15 incredible years, I even taught dance, sharing the joy of movement. NYC holds a special place in my heart; as a teenager and young adult, I spent countless hours training and dancing at iconic spots like Broadway Dance Center, Steps, or Alvin Ailey. The energy of that city is truly electric!
My running journey kicked off when I became a mum. While I've conquered several half marathons, the full 42.195 km has always been that ultimate challenge I've dreamed of. My longest run to date is 26km, so this is a massive leap, but what better motivation than to push my limits for a cause so close to my heart?
As a mum of three, supporting children and giving them opportunities through sport resonates deeply with me.
I am absolutely buzzing with excitement to hit the streets of New York, turning my dance-trained legs into marathon-ready machines! Every step I take will be fueled by your incredible support and the knowledge that we're making a real difference for Laureus.
Join me on this incredible journey! Your donation, big or small, will help Laureus continue their amazing work. Let's make every mile count!
I can't wait to connect with you all share tips, lessons learned, and have some fun together as we count down to race day!
Thank you for your support and belief in this incredible cause!
Meryll
We can do it with passion and fun together
