Hello!
I’ve decided to run the 2019 TCS New York City Marathon with Team for Kids and I am asking for your support of their inspiring mission. Team for Kids is a team of adult runners who raise funds for critical services provided by New York Road Runners youth programs. These programs empower youth development and encourage healthy habits via running and character-building programs across the country.
I have also decided to enhance my overall fitness level and complete the marathon in sub three hours time. I understand this goal is a tremendous feat, and requires a substantial amount of mental and physical toughness. Over the past two years, I have shed approximately 150 pounds and I know that continuing further, will require the support of my family and friends. Running has given me an outlet to proudly say that I can, and I will do this!

Your giving helps New York Road Runners youth programs:
- Serve 250,000 students nationwide - including 125,000 in New York City's five boroughs - through free NYRR youth running programs, events, and resources.
- Engage students in long-term athlete development (LTAD), a lifelong journey that guides an individual's experience in sports and physical activity to develop healthy minds and bodies for life.
- Help build the next generation of athletes by supporting coaches, educators, and fitness leaders with the tools they need to make a difference.
Whether you are a runner, have worked with children, or have kids yourself, I hope you will join me to further this great cause!
See you at the finish line!
Run, Ray, Run
