On November 1st, I will be running the 2026 New York City Marathon for Girls on the Run NYC!
Girls on the Run is a transformative, running-based program that empowers girls in grades 3–5. Through fun, engaging lessons and team activities, young girls build confidence, develop healthy relationships, learn how to overcome challenges, and discover the importance of standing up for themselves and others. The lessons connect directly to real-life situations the girls face at school, with friends, and in their communities—giving them skills and confidence they can carry with them throughout their childhood and beyond. Each season builds toward a celebratory 5K walk/run, where the girls accomplish a goal they have worked toward together and prove to themselves that they are capable of more than they imagined.
I have coached Girls on the Run for the past two years and have seen firsthand the confidence, resilience, and joy this program builds in the girls who participate. It has been an incredibly meaningful experience for me, and I am proud to support an organization that is making such a powerful impact on young girls across the United States.
As I train for the marathon, I am raising funds to help ensure more girls have the opportunity to participate in this life-changing program. Will you join me by making a gift to Girls on the Run today?
