On November 1, I’ll be running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon for Girls on the Run NYC ...and this one is personal.
2026 TCS New York City Marathon isn’t just 26.2 miles. It’s 26.2 miles for girls who are learning, right now, who they are and what they’re made of.
Because of Girls on the Run, participants gain a stronger understanding of who they are and what matters to them. They learn the value of teamwork and healthy relationships. They build the confidence to overcome obstacles. And most importantly? They begin to know, in their bones, that they can shape their own lives and impact the world around them.
And here’s what I deeply believe:
If we teach girls early that their physical bodies and their strength are their own, we change everything.
When a girl knows her body belongs to her…
When she feels strong in it…
When she trusts it…
She grows into a woman with personal agency.
She questions self-doubt.
She is less likely to harm herself.
She is more likely to stand up to physical and sexual violence.
She knows she has choices.
That is prevention.
That is power.
That is healing at the root.
That’s why I love Girls on the Run.
That’s why I’m supporting this work with my heart, my wallet, and my miles.
So I’m asking you, will you join me?
Will you make a gift to Girls on the Run today and help another girl discover her strength, her voice, and her worth?
Every donation matters. Every girl matters.
XO, Mindi
