2022 TCS New York City Marathon

Over the 8 years that Rick and Abbie Smith's middle son and my middle son became best friends (they were about 8 months old when they met), I have had the pleasure of getting close to the Smith family.  With the help of their oldest son, Noah, the Smith's have dedicated their lives to bringing comfort and support to those receiving an unexpected Down syndrome diagnoses.  Through Hope Story, their non-profit organization, their mission is to partner OB/GYNs with Hope Advocates so doctors have the knowledge and resources to deliver information in a positive and caring way.  Additionally, those Hope Advocates are available to meet and build community with new parents with similar needs.

I am extremely proud to run the New York City Marathon on behalf of Hope Story.  Feel comfort in knowing your donation will go directly to Hope Story as I am managing the cost to travel and run in the marathon.

I sincerely appreciate your donation as it goes to a cause I have strong belief.

Your donation helps Hope Story provide resources, support, and hope to families whose child has received a Down syndrome diagnosis. Thank you for considering our runners as they work hard to meet their goal of running the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon!

Please consider if your company will help match your donation as every dollar is helpful.
