Fast Feet, Full Heart: Ilyssa's NYC Half Marathon with Good Grief

I'm raising money for Good Grief!

I’m thrilled to be participating in 2026 United Airlines NYC Half, a fundraiser supporting Good Grief - an organization that’s incredibly close to my heart. As a volunteer facilitator and someone who has personally experienced grief and loss, I know how important it is for kids and families to have a supportive, uplifting community to lean on during the most difficult times. 

Good Grief creates a space filled with compassion, connection, and hope, and I’ve seen firsthand how transformative that can be. It inspires me every single day! 

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. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for cheering me on and helping make a difference. Your support means the world to me - and to the families Good Grief supports every day!
