I am running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon in support of The Bridge. Please join me in supporting The Bridge's mission to change lives by providing help, hope, and opportunity to the most vulnerable New Yorkers. The Bridge provides comprehensive behavioral and primary health services, supportive housing, and community-based services to many who live with serious mental illness or were formerly homeless.

My running journey began in 2019 as a personal challenge — a way to push myself beyond my comfort zone. As a single mother raising a son with special needs, life demanded everything I had — my time, my energy, my heart. Mentally, running gave me clarity I couldn't find anywhere else. As a caregiver, running gave me the strength to physically care for my son, carrying him, showering him, and transporting him to numerous appointments.

Now, having experienced firsthand what running can do for the mind and spirit, I would like to pay it forward by fundraising for the Bridge. Thank you!
