"On November 1, I am running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon for Girls on the Run NYC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering girls to unlock their limitless potential by teaching essential life skills, building confidence and fostering teamwork through a running-based program. The program provides coaching and lessons to girls 3rd through 8th grade that focus on developing social, emotional and physical skills, with each season culminating with a 5K Celebration!
Sport has the power to change lives by developing transferable valuable life skills that every girl should learn and creating supportive communities.
Rowing taught me that I could do more than I thought I was capable of, instilled confidence in me and provided me with a strong community that supported my growth. Without rowing, and my team, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today, someone who isn’t afraid to speak up for herself, recognizes the value of hard work, prioritizes my overall well-being/health and dares to dream beyond.
Girls on the Run similarly instills those crucial skills and confidence in girls. I want to inspire girls to not limit their dreams and to set their goals higher. By fundraising, I hope to provide more girls with this valuable opportunity. Please consider joining me by making a gift to Girls on the Run today! "
