I'm thrilled to be running the New York City Marathon in support of Robin Hood, an incredible organization dedicated to fighting poverty and empowering communities across New York City. This year, I've decided to channel my passion for running into a mission that's close to my heart: supporting mental health.

Mental health has always been a significant part of my journey. From a young age, I've faced my own challenges and have seen how crucial it is to have access to the right resources and support. Running has been one of the ways I've managed my mental well-being, providing me with an outlet for stress, a way to process emotions, and a reminder of my inner strength. But not everyone has the same access to the tools, support, and care they need to manage their mental health.

By running this marathon, I hope to raise awareness and funds for Robin Hood's mental health initiatives. Every step I take is dedicated to those who are struggling, to those who feel alone, and to those who need a helping hand to find their way. The money raised will go towards programs that provide critical mental health services, ensuring that more people have the opportunity to heal, grow, and thrive.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
