Running the NYC Marathon has always been one of those bucket-list experiences I dreamed of being part of. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about the marathon itself, but I also knew that if I ever got the chance to run it, I wanted it to mean something bigger than crossing the finish line, I'm so grateful that i get to fulfill both.

The way I see it, I can be a finisher on race day, but with your support, I can be a winner before I even take my first step on race day. Every donation brings hope to children and families who need it most, and every person who contributes becomes part of this journey.

Let's win this together!

Chai Lifeline is an organization like no other when it comes to kids, they support more than 10,000 seriously ill children and their families each year by providing emotional, social, and financial assistance. From counseling and hospital support to transportation, mentoring, afterschool programs, and medically supervised summer camps, their services help families navigate childhood illness while bringing hope and joy.

Running a marathon is not easy, but neither is dealing with illness. I can do this for them. I need your help to raise as much money as possible for these kids. I’ve set a goal for myself to raise $10,000 in support of Chai Lifeline. but my real goal is to raise as much as possible! Your generous donation will help me move closer to my real goal and make a difference in the lives of so many. Let's do this together!
