Growing up, books were always my safe space, which is why I am so happy to be fundraising for Brooklyn Book Bodega! They want to increase the number of 100+ book homes in NYC through free events and community programming. Kids of all ages can take ownership of their books and build a thriving life of reading. 

I have personally volunteered with Brooklyn Book Bodega and financially support them. When I was given the opporunity to join the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon, as a fundraiser supporting Brooklyn Book Bodega, of course I said yes! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

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 so much for your support- it means the world!
