I'm Running the NYC Marathon — And I Need Your Help
Hello!
I’m thrilled (and a little nervous!) to share that I’ve been selected to run the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon as part of Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation's Athletes for Accessibility team — and I need your support.
I’m running to raise $5,000 to help advance innovation for children and adults with disabilities. All donations help CPARF invest in scientific discovery, technological development, and equity-centered initiatives that improve quality of life, treatment, and care.
I have been so inspired by the communities that form around the individuals who need support, advocacy, and opportunity and I am so excited to be playing a role in the empowering work that this organization does every day. CPARF not only advocates for individuals with cerebral palsy and creates tangible impact in these communities, but it also invests in research and initiatives that expand access, inclusion, and independence. The Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation's mission is one that resonates strongly with me as an athlete, a fundraiser, and a person and I am proud to represent them in this race to draw awareness and fundraising to this incredibly meaningful cause.
I've never had the chance to transform my love of running into a purpose. This opportunity that I have to contribute to meaningful progress and lasting change for entire communities is one that I do not take lightly. Your support in this journey means the world to me.
Will you help me reach my goal by making a donation today?
Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me!
Thank you to my Sponsors
