This year I am embarking on something that has been in the back of my mind for a long time. For those of us who are from the NY Metropolitan area, we lived through the tragedy of 9/11 in a very specific way. We all know families directly affected by the attacks and it's something we'll never forget.

Tuesday's Children was born out of that horrific day and a close friend of mine introduced me to the organization when he ran the marathon a few years ago. I was inspired by the people who began this cause and those who are contunuing to support these families and anyone affected by terrorism around the world.

So, this year I’m thrilled to be participating in the 2025 NYC Marathon in direct support of Tuesday's Children. Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small.
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks.

Thank you for standing by me in this effort and I look forward to giving it my all on Sunday, Nov. 2.
