I never thought I would be a part of the running community... yet here I am! I've been part of the running community since 2019, through my work with Achilles International. Their organization pushed me to recognize my own potential in the sport, and all the good it can do not only for my own sense of well-being, but for others! Through my work with Achilles, I became an ally to 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. 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. 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. Thanks for reading and thank you for your generous support! This race weekend will be a family affair, with my husband, siblings, and bonus mom running as well!
