A MESSAGE FROM Shannon’s Fundraising Page
Please join me in supporting Team for Kids at the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon! Team for Kids is made up of runners raising funds to support New York Road Runners’ youth and community programs. Your donation helps bring free running and fitness programs to kids across the country, inspiring healthy habits, confidence, and lifelong strength through movement. As a youth soccer coach, I know firsthand the direct positive impact that exercise, dedication, and teamwork can have on a child's life and future.
This will be my first full marathon! I am running 26.2 miles for kids everywhere who deserve the opportunity to run and to be active! For all the incredible kids I am lucky enough to coach and know directly through the beauty of sport and competition - the kids who inspire me and prove every day that hard work, kindness, and belief in yourself can change anything. To my Delmarva Rush Girls and my 2015G Crew - your grit, your relentless bravery, and the unwavering joy you each bring to this world remind me what true strength looks like. Running through New York, you’ll be right there with me - in my heart, in each step, in every mile. Let’s do it, ladies!
P.S. - Feel free to share a song suggestion and I’ll add it to my race day playlist!
