I will be running the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 6th for Team HRPK (my lifelong dream)! Hudson River Park (HRPK) is the Nation's Longest Riverfront Park. It brings tears to my eyes to be able to run for a place that I care so deeply for and has such a special place in my heart. The the Hudson River Park is four miles along Manhattan's west side and attracts over 17 million visits each year. The Park provides an oasis for New Yorkers and visitors with a variety of recreational and educational activities revolving around nature, sustainability, personal health and wellness as well as community. All of my favorite things in this world! The Park is also an urban sustainability innovation, from their community composting efforts to their 400-acre Estuarine Sanctuary that's reviving biodiversity in the Hudson River. I'm proud to be running 26.2 of New York City's most iconic miles in support of this blue and green urban oasis. This Park is a vital urban sanctuary, an public education resource for future environmentalists and scientists, and the place I feel safest and most at peace in NYC. Not only do I run here ~4 times a week, I am here almost every single day, whether it be playing sand volleyball, watching the sunset, reading a good book with a picnic, playing double solitaire with Dar or watching the salsa dancing club perform. As a member of Team HRPK, I need to raise $5,000 for this beloved urban park. If you are able, I would really appreciate you helping me in donating today to help me reach my 2022 TCS New York City Marathon goal! Thank you so much!!
