Team Hope Story - 2023 TCS New York City Marathon

I'm running the NYC Marathon for Hope Story! Would you consider furthering this great organization by joining our team by donating absolutely ANY amount?!!

I want you to know….I have already paid my own race entry. I’ll be responsible for paying for my own hotel, travel and everything else out of my own pocket, so rest assured your donation helps Hope Story DIRECTLY and ENTIRELY! 

Your donation helps Hope Story provide resources, support, and hope to families whose child has received a Down syndrome diagnosis.

I want to make this fun and raise a lot of money, so here's some fun ideas for donating based on FACTS about the race!

•    If all you could give $5 for the 5 boroughs of New York we'll be running through, then a $5 donation is much appreciated!

•    it’s a 26.2 miles race. Would you consider a donation of $1 per mile that I'll be running? $26.20.

•    On average, it takes about 50,000 steps to complete a marathon, so if you gave a dollar for every 1000 steps, that would be $50 donation!

•    I will burn about 125 calories each mile (over 3200 cals through the course!), so could you cover a $125 donation?

•    There's 138,336 feet in a marathon! If you gave one-tenth of a penny per foot of the course, that would would be an size-able $138.34 donation!

•    The elevation gain and elevation loss in this race is about 800 feet over the course! So while it seems flat overall, it's actually quite hilly. A donation of $800 would be a real boost to get over the hills!

Help us, help others!  By making a
