Hi! My name is Emmet, and I am thrilled to be participating in the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon and fundraising to support Brooklyn Book Bodega!! 

I am passionate about this cause and need your help. I have loved reading my entire life, and it has been a recurring source of joy and inspiration. I was lucky to grow up in a home with plenty books for me to read - but not everyone is in that same situation. Brooklyn Book Bodega's mission is to increase book access for kids across New York City so that every child has the chance to grow up in a home filled with books. 

Every donation, big or small, helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause. Here's what your donation will achieve:

• $25 provides books for five children
• $50 contributes a shelf of books to a classroom library
• $100 gives a family a complete at-home library
• $500 sponsors an entire library for at-risk youth
• $1,000 provides two educators with a year's worth of free books

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!

If you work for a company or organization that matches your personal donations, please consider pursuing a match at the time of the donation to double your impact. 

Thank you for your support! It means the world to me.
