While living in NYC, I was fortunate to be a spectator for many of the annual marathons. It has always been a dream of mine to take part in this unforgettable experience that captures the spirit and energy of this amazing city.

I am running in support of the charity The Army of Survivors, which is an incredible organization dedicated to empowering survivors of sexual assault against young athletes and advocating for change to prevent such violence. It is uplifting to know that with every stride that is taken on race day, together, we are impacting so many people and have an opportunity to support those who have bravely faced unimaginable challenges.

It is very exciting to be part of something that is truly extraordinary.
