I'm excited to run my first marathon this year at the NYC Marathon. After completing the Brooklyn Half in March, I was inspired by the incredible sense of community on the course — runners and supporters from all backgrounds coming together across New York City. That experience motivated me to take on the challenge of the full marathon.

Running on behalf of EHTP and the EHSA community makes this journey even more meaningful. Growing up in New York City's diverse neighborhoods taught me the importance of showing up for others, learning from different perspectives, and giving back. I'm proud to use this experience to support the East Harlem community and help make a positive impact, one mile at a time.

Every donation, big or small, helps provide the support and opportunities that East Harlem students deserve. Thank you for considering a gift toward my run and this incredible community.
