I’m thrilled to be participating as a BellRunner in the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon, taking on 26.2 miles to raise vital funds for The Bell Center for Early Intervention Programs.

The Bell Center is dedicated to maximizing the potential of infants and toddlers (ages birth to three) who are at risk for developmental delays. Their work provides life-changing support for local children and families when early intervention matters most.

Why The Bell Center's mission matters:

• Unique Care: It is the only transdisciplinary, center-based early intervention program in the state of Alabama.

• Comprehensive Support: Every enrolled child is served by a dedicated team of specialists, including a Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech-Language Pathologist, and Early Childhood Special Education Teacher.

• Growing Need: Enrollment at The Bell Center has grown by over 100% in the last five years, serving children across 16 Alabama counties.

• Broad Impact: Programs support children with a wide range of diagnoses, including Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, rare genetic conditions, and general developmental delays.

I am passionate about supporting these extraordinary children and their families, but I need your help to reach my fundraising goal! Every contribution—big or small—directly fuels programs that transform young lives.

How you can help:

1. Donate: Any amount makes a meaningful difference.

2. Spread the Word: Share this page link with friends, family, or colleagues who care about local early intervention programs.

Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and generosity as I gear up for race day in New York City!
