Thank you for visiting my page for the NYC Marathon!

I have been a part of Friendship Circle through their Philadelphia chapter ever since seventh grade (2013)! After years of walking miles and fundraising for The Philly Friendship Walks, I am thrilled to run my first full marathon with Friendship Circle.

The Friendship Circle exists to bring happiness and companionship to children and young adults with special needs, by celebrating their individuality, as well as bringing energy, support, and peace of mind to their families. Friendship Circle chapters in local communities create meaningful relationships and friendships between teen volunteers and children with special needs, increasing confidence, igniting dreams, and redefining worldviews for both parties.

This cause is very dear to me, and I'll appreciate all the support I can get! Together we can make a difference! Best - Sammi
