I'm running with the Bronx Burners 2026 NYC Marathon Team! The Bronx Burners Run Club is a non-profit that aims to make running accessible to anyone and builds opportunity through community and sport. We offer training and practices, events and partnerships with major brands, and scholarships to help our athletes achieve beyond the track. We are 100% volunteer led - every dollar raised goes back to the community.

Our mission is near and dear to me. I wasn't a runner growing up (in fact, I hated it). But one pandemic and some advice from generous experienced runners later, and I became hooked. Running offers the perfect lessons for personal growth: put one foot in front of the other, and aim to be better than yesterday. Now I'm lucky. Not everyone has access to training or a supportive community to get started. That's where the Burners come in. The NYC Marathon is the most inclusive day of the year, cheering on athletes of all ages, backgrounds, shapes, and sizes. Let's help the Burners do the same for the other 364 days.

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 for helping me and the Burners make running accessible to all. See you at the Marathon!
