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.
This cause means a lot to me, and your support would mean the world.
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

Way to go Scott! It is amazing what we can do with a positive mindset, dedication, love, support and belief in ourselves. What an inspiration you and Marni both are to our family!! At our meeting place many years ago, adjacent to some magical red clay courts, stands a 180 ft natural powerhouse know as Haines Falls/Spray Falls. In honor of your plunge into the NYC Marathon, that is the number of miles we would like for you to keep in mind as you run 💪 Sending our very best!
