Hi, I'm Adalia, and this Sunday (November 9), I’ll be running my first marathon—26.2 miles! I’ve decided to use this challenge as an opportunity to support a local nonprofit that I care about, Madison Reading Project, and participate in their Community Book Drive 2025. This non-profit connects the Madison, WI community with free books and literacy resources that ignite a love for reading in children while affirming and reflecting the rich diversity of young readers.

Your donations can make a significant difference in a child's life. Here's how:

• Providing free books that resonate with the diverse backgrounds of young readers.
• Offering literacy resources and programs that foster a love for reading and learning.

If you’d like to support, every donation—big or small— is greatly appreciated and directly impacts this important cause.

Thank you so much for your support— I’m excited to take on this challenge and run for a great cause!
