Team Hope Story - 2023 TCS New York City Marathon

Welcome to my fundraising page for the New York City Marathon! On November 5th, I will be running my first ever Marathon and have committed to raising $5,000 for Hope Story, a charity that provides support to families with children born with Down syndrome. This cause is very dear to my heart, and I am excited to be running the marathon to raise awareness and funds for this amazing organization. 

To be honest, I am not a natural runner, and the idea of running 26.2 miles is daunting, However, I believe that we grow the most when we step outside of our comfort zones, and this is an opportunity for me to challenge myself and push past my limits. 

But the real reason I am doing this is for the families that Hope Story supports. Hope Story exists to give encouragement and resources to parents whose child has received a Down syndrome diagnosis; to provide free assistance to the medical community to help Doctors deliver a Down syndrome diagnosis, and to help parents of children born with Down syndrome use their story to bring hope to others.

I am asking for your support in this fundraising effort. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in the lives of these families. Your contribution will help provide much needed support and resources to families who are facing extraordinary challenges. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of families with children born with Down syndrome.
