Hello everyone!

This year, I’m taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life, running the New York City Marathon. But this race is about so much more than crossing the finish line.

Every mile I run is dedicated to supporting the incredible work of the Family & Children’s Association, an organization that has been helping families in our community for over a century.

FCA provides critical support to children, families, seniors, and individuals facing some of life’s hardest challenges. From mental health services and addiction recovery programs to family support resources and youth programs, they are a lifeline for many people who need hope, stability, and guidance during difficult times.

Training for 26.2 miles has pushed me physically and mentally, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges many families face every day. Knowing that every step I take can help someone receive the support they need is what motivates me to keep going.

This fundraiser is my way of turning my passion for fitness and endurance into something meaningful that gives back to the community.

Your donation truly makes an impact. For example:

• $25 can help provide meals or essential resources for families in need

• $50 can help support youth programs that give kids safe spaces to grow and learn

• $100 can help fund counseling and crisis support services for individuals going through difficult times

• $250+ helps expand life changing programs that support vulnerable children and families in our community

No contribution is too small. Every dollar helps make a difference.

If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting both my marathon journey and the mission of FCA. And if donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this page or cheering me on means just as much.

Together we can turn every mile into something that truly changes lives.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💙🏃‍♀️
