A MESSAGE FROM Michal
My name is Michal, and I’m running the NYRR 2025 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon to support Riley’s Way Foundation—a community fueled by optimism and kindness to create real change.
I joined Riley’s Way as a Call For Kindness Fellow, where I worked with my team's nonprofit, the Flint Justice Partnership, to partner with individuals impacted by the Flint water crisis. Through Riley’s Way, I found a community that has shaped my journey as a health reporter and future physician-scientist.
Now, as a member of the Riley’s Way Board and co-chair of the Youth Advisory Board, I mentor young leaders creating a ripple effect of kindness in their communities. Programs like the Youth Leadership Retreat empower teens to lead with kindness, find community, and form long-lasting connections, addressing the mental health and loneliness crises our youth face.
Your support will fund these transformative opportunities. Let’s create a brighter, kinder future together! Thank you for making a difference!
