I'm Running the NYC Marathon — And I Need Your Help
Hello!
I’m so excited to share that I’ve been selected to run the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon as part of the Cerebral Palsy Alliance's Athletes for Accessibility team.
This cause is near & dear to me and my family. As many of you know, my younger sister, Erin, has Cerebral Palsy, and she is truly one of the strongest, most resilient people I know. She has faced challenges with courage and determination, and she inspires me every single day. I’ll be running all 26.2 miles in her honor!
As part of the team, I'm running to raise $5,000 that will 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. Every dollar brings us closer to a more accessible and inclusive future for people with disabilities.
Reaching this goal would mean so much, not just to me, but to families like mine. If you’re able, I would be deeply grateful for your support!
Will you help me reach my goal by making a donation today?
Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me!
