A MESSAGE FROM Yuyu’s fundraising page!!
Friends, family and fun people, thank you for taking the time to check out my incredibly scary yet deeply fulfilling challenge that I am about to embark on. I have the fortunate pleasure of supporting Team for Kids at the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon.
I've been raised with the values that having a healthy body is truly a gift and one to be grateful for every day. The unfortunate thing about being alive is also knowing that there are many people near and far who may not be able to move with ease, the way we take for granted. And so I run this marathon inspired by friends who have completed marathons, the energy and kindness of people like you who support people doing hard things, and the belief that health and wellness should be accessible to all.
Team for Kids is a team of adult runners who raise funds to support New York Road Runners youth and community programs. Your donation will help empower youth and communities to develop and encourage healthy habits via running. Through the arts, I have always worked with children because creating environments for children to thrive and find their interests is a passion and belief I carry. And it brings me great joy to be running this marathon for myself and also giving back to a cause that I align with. I am ready to run for a purpose!
This is going to be fun, the most terrifying thing I have opted to commit to, and I believe the most rewarding. I will accept any tips on the best gels out there, jokes to keep me going, and song recommendations through long training days.
Thank you again for joining me in support of this great cause. Wish me luck and love as I run my way with a smile through a city that has a big space in my heart in November 2026.
With love,
Yuyu
