Team Hope Story - 2026 TCS New York City Marathon

I am so proud to be running with and raising money for Hope Story.  All life deserves to be celebrated, and a different story does not mean bad story.  A simple congratulations goes a long way - what a beautiful blessing life is.  I met Noah and Rick in Spring of 2025 and have had the privilege to witness the incredible impact this organization has across the country.  Any donation amount helps and is graciously welcomed. 

 Here's how your donation can be put to work:

$5.00 - Prints 10 “How to Deliver a Down Syndrome Diagnosis with Hope” Booklets.

$10.00 - Prints 8 Hope Stories Booklets, which answer questions in story form that new parents may have. These books are distributed nationwide to new parents and physicians.

$25.00 - Provides one Hope Kit to an existing parent of a child with Down Syndrome so they can “adopt” their medical professional and provide peer support to new local parents.

$50.00 - Produces material for twenty medical professional folders, providing resources to help medical professionals deliver a Down Syndrome diagnosis to new parents. 

$75.00 - Provides and ships one box (thirty books) of our Hope Stories Booklets to a medical office to give to families with a new diagnosis
