Please join me in supporting Team for Kids at the 2027 TCS New York City Marathon.
Five years ago, I moved to New York from Hawaii with no job, no money, and a lot of self-doubt. I slept on a couch for six months, taught myself photography with free portrait sessions in Washington Square Park, almost gave up and went home, and later spent ten months recovering from a spinal injury. Through all of it, I built the career I dreamed of.
Iβve always wanted to try out at least once in my life, it just felt so out of reach for so long.
Now, about to turn 30, I've discovered running and the community. On November 7, 2027, I'm celebrating that milestone by running the TCS New York City Marathon with Team for Kids.
Team for Kids is a team of adult runners who raise funds for New York Road Runners' free youth and community programs. I'm running for every kid who feels lost, or feels like their dream is too far away, the way I did for so long.
Challenging yourself and stepping outside your comfort zone teaches lessons money can't buy: resilience, confidence, and belief in yourself. Your donation helps kids build healthy habits through running and discover what they're capable of.
My goal is $5,000. Together, we can build healthier lives and stronger communities through the transformative power of running. Our finish line is active kids and communities! πββοΈπ½
Thank you for joining me!!
