I’m running for Variety - the Children’s Charity in the TCS New York City Marathon! 🗽

This November, I’m taking on 26.2 miles through all five boroughs of New York City as part of #TeamVariety! 🏃‍♀️✨
I’m running to raise vital funds for Variety, a global charity that empowers children who are sick, disadvantaged, or living with disabilities by providing life-changing medical care, physical therapy, and adaptive equipment. I will run without limits, so every child can live without limits. 🌍💙

This journey is incredibly close to my heart because I am pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy and am passionate about helping children build confidence, independence, and the skills they need to participate fully in everyday life. Running the New York City Marathon has been a lifelong dream of mine, and being able to combine that dream with a cause that helps children live without limits makes this opportunity even more meaningful. Every single mile I tackle will be dedicated to helping kids feel supported by creating a world without limits.

Every step I take unlocks potential for children around the globe, but I can’t do this alone! I’ve set a goal to raise $6,000 and would love your support to help reach it!! Follow along for my training and fundraising updates, and if you’re able to donate or share my fundraising link, it would mean the absolute world to me:
