I'm proud to be running the 2026 New York City Marathon with Friendship Circle International, an incredible Jewish organization inspired by the values of Chabad. Friendship Circle creates meaningful friendships and support for children and young adults with special needs while empowering teenage volunteers and strengthening families in our communities.

This will be my second NYC Marathon. Last year, in 2025, I ran the marathon while managing Type 1 diabetes and also achieved a personal record in the NYC Half Marathon. During the full marathon I pushed myself to mile 18 before needing medical attention, but I still earned the medal for finishing the course with determination.

Between the NYC Half Marathon and the 2025 NYC Marathon, I was honored to raise over $8,000 for this incredible organization.

I’m running again in November 2026 to continue supporting the life-changing work of Friendship Circle. Your support helps provide programs, friendships, and opportunities that truly make a difference for so many families.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
