I am excited to say I am running this year's NYC Marathon for the Chris Klug Foundation (CKF)! I am thrilled to take on this challenge; there is no bigger stage than the New York Marathon. I am proud to represent CKF, which works to eliminate the wait for a transplant by inspiring and educating individuals to register as organ donors. Over 103,000 individuals in the US are waiting for a lifesaving transplant. They need us to register as organ donors. Unfortunately, while 96% of Americans claim to support organ, eye, and tissue donation, only 48% register. I hope that by racing the marathon, I can shine a light on how vital saying yes is!
This year, I am also running in honor of my grandfather, Sheldon Taule, who passed away on June 18th, 2025. His memory and strength are with me every step of the way, and dedicating this run to him makes this journey even more meaningful.
Please show your support by making a donation as I take on this mammoth challenge.
