My family and I will be kicking off 2026 running the Disney Half Marathon in January. This will be a first for me!!! There are so many reasons that I'm both excited and nervous for this milestone, but I'm most excited about running on behalf of Queens Centers for Progress (QCP), the non-profit my mom has served for over a decade. QCP supports children and adults with developmental disabilities across Queens NY— offering early education, job training, housing, day programs, and real pathways to independence. I’ve seen the incredible impact their mission has on peoples lives through my mom’s dedication over the years. Joining this running team means more than finishing a race – it’s a celebration of the amazing things that QCP is doing, and it’s also my commitment to raise funds to help them continue their life-changing work. Every mile we run is for inclusion, opportunity, and love. My goal is to raise at least $2,500.00 by race day on January 10th, and I need a little help getting there! If you have the means to do so, please consider donating below - no donation is too small and every dollar counts. Thanks for your support!!!?
