On Sunday, November 1, I'm running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon for Girls on the Run NYC, a transformative running-based program for girls and teens. 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.
For over six seasons, I've had the privilege of coaching Girls on the Run at the elementary level. It's a program I cherish deeply, and one that I would've loved to be a part of as a student! I've seen firsthand the incredible impact that GOTR has on participants' confidence, sense of empowerment, and self-worth -- all while becoming stronger runners, teammates, and friends. It would be an honor and a delight to run the TCS New York City Marathon this fall while supporting Girls on the Run. Will you help me get there by supporting my campaign today?
