I'm thrilled to announce that I will be running this year's New York City Marathon to raise funds for Literacy Partners, a group dedicated to creating a world in which everyone has the literacy skills necessary to create social and economic opportunities for themselves, their children, and their communities.

Literacy Partners works to advance literacy two generations at a time, by supporting adults, parents, and caregivers in nurturing the literacy skills they and the children in their lives need to thrive.

As many of you know, I'm a life long lover of books and have spent my career working to bring great literature to the public eye via books and screen. The cause of access to literacy and the empathetic power of storytelling is very close to my heart and couldn't be more crucial than it is today.

Please give now to support this worthy cause!

This is also my first marathon and I need your moral support!
