On November 2, I’m running the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon for Girls on the Run NYC. Girls on the Run is a transformative running-based program that empowers girls to reach their goals, not just in sport but in life. Participants recognize the value of healthy relationships and mentorship, build confidence to overcome obstacles, and find joy in expressing themselves. Their season culminates in a 5K run which I had the privilege of serving as the lead bike marshal for in December 2024. Leading the way for over 500 girls donning sparkles and smiles as they chased down their goals was one of the highlights of my year. Their sense of pride and limitless potential was palpable. I hope to bring this same spirit to the NYC marathon! Please join my journey by making a gift to Girls on the Run and supporting their mission.
