On November 2, I am running the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon for Girls on the Run NYC, a transformative running-based program. Because of Girls on the Run, participants gain a better understanding of who they are and what's important to them, recognize the value of team work and healthy relationships, build confidence to overcome obstacles, and know that they can positively impact and shape our world. Running and being on a team has been pivotal to my outlook on life and has brought me some of the best girl friends I could ever ask for!
I am excited to be running this marathon to raise money for an organization that is all about growing confidence for women in sports. I hope young girls today are more frequently equipped with the opportunity to feel like an athlete and take pride in themselves, and their teams. There are so many hurdles that life throws at us, access to sports shouldn’t be one of them!
