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
