This year, I’ve committed to running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon as a member of Team Mission United to support United Way of Long Island’s Mission United - a program that provides vital services to Long Island veterans and their families.

Through Mission United, United Way of Long Island connects veterans to life-changing resources including job training, housing support, financial assistance, and mental health services - helping them transition to civilian life with the respect and support they deserve.

Running 26.2 miles is no easy feat, but I’m doing it with purpose—and I’d be honored to have your support along the way. Your donation will directly impact veterans right here on Long Island by funding programs that:

• Help veterans find stable, meaningful employment

• Provide emergency financial assistance and housing support

• Connect individuals and families with mental health and wellness services

Whether you’re able to contribute financially or simply cheer me on, every bit of support means the world. Thank you so much for considering a gift in support of my run and this incredible cause. Together, we can honor those who’ve served by helping them lead stronger, more stable lives.
