I am running for Queens Centers for Progress because this organization is truly doing great work by helping children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the community. Working with more than 1500 individuals of all ages, QCP offers everything from educational support to job training to housing — always with the goal of supporting people’s independence, community involvement, and quality of life. Their life-enriching programs help the individuals they serve become more independent, more involved in the community and, bottom line, helps to improve their quality of life. QCP cares deeply about the people they work with and I feel honored to be able to fundraise and be part of their charity team's - TeamQCP - inaugural run in the 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend! Thanks for reading and thank you for your generous support—it will go a long way!
