The NYC Marathon was just incredible! Finally laying down and going thru all my videos and pictures, and it’s hard to put into words this experience. It’s definitely in my top 5 life experiences!🩷

Every borough, every neighborhood, showed up! They were all so special, although Brooklyn and the Bronx have my heart 🫶 The amount of spectators that are out along the WHOLE course is just nuts! I even got a high five from Olympic Medalist Laurie Hernandez in Brooklyn!! 🥳

The bridges weren’t bad, but that 5th Avenue incline and the Central Park hills at the end were brutal, and an uphill finish was a killer 🫠 But still, so fun! 🙌

From @archduke_elliott , who chased me around all day, throwing confetti and keeping me going at Mile 21, when I really thought I was done 😂 Then Shawn and the girls greeting me when I got onto First Ave, was the absolute best. Everyone who texted me during the race, with the messages popping up on my watch, I loved it! And to everyone who left me Rally messages, you carried me the entire way. They made me laugh, cry, and everything in between 🩷

And to @youngsurvivalcoalition , thank you so much for this opportunity! It was the experience of a lifetime and I’ll carry this with me forever! 🩷

I love you all, thank you so much to everyone that cheered me on, donated, and supported this crazy idea of mine! 🩷

And if you still want to donate, my fundraising page is still open for a little longer!
