Please support my fundraising efforts for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon by clicking on the donate button!  

Having the opportunity to run the NYC Marathon is deeply personal to me - it represents both a physical and emotional commitment to growth, resilience, and community. Movement has always been a cornerstone of how I show up in the world. As a yoga teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is to connect body and mind, and for me, running is an extension of that practice. It’s a way for me to clear my head, reset, and come back to myself so I can be my best self all around - for my work, my yoga students, my relationships, and the people around me.

Living near Central Park, I’m constantly reminded of how transformative access to green space can be. Manhattan’s parks and green spaces aren’t just beautiful, they are essential, and something that I believe everyone deserves access to. That is why City Parks Foundation’s mission resonates so strongly with me. Their work ensures that all New Yorkers - regardless of background or neighborhood - can experience the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of parks and outdoor spaces. Running for Team Run for CityParks Play gives me the opportunity to combine something I love with a cause I deeply believe in.

For me, this marathon is about more than personal achievement - it’s about supporting the spaces that support all of us.

FYI - many employers will match a portion of or all of your donation! I greatly appreciate your support towards achieving one of my personal life goals with this marathon. Any support is appreciated and no donation is too small!
