Welcome to the official fundraising hub for Learning Ally’s 2026 TCS New York City Marathon team. On Sunday, November 1, our athletes will join more than 55,000 runners to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the legendary five-borough course. While our runners take on the physical challenge of the world’s largest marathon, they are also racing to solve a different challenge: the literacy gap for students with learning differences, including dyslexia.
Why Your Donation Matters
In the United States, 1 in 5 students has dyslexia or a related learning difference. Without the right support, the journey to literacy can feel like an impossible climb. Learning Ally is dedicated to transforming dyslexia outcomes by providing the tools students need to succeed.
Your contribution helps us maintain and expand our library of over 75,000 human-read audio e-books, ensuring that every student has equitable access to the books they need to learn and thrive.
Every Milestone Counts
By donating today, you are joining a global effort. In 2025, charity runners raised a record-breaking $80 million for more than 600 missions, and this year, New York Road Runners has set an ambitious goal to raise $100 million for charity. Help us lead the way in making 2026 the most impactful year yet.
