Team TA Charitable United Airlines NYC Half

My name is Leon Alston, and I am a certified personal trainer and aspiring endurance runner. I specialize in several facets of training which include but aren't limited to strength training, mobility work, running for beginners, as well as calisthenics. I was first introduced to running about 10 years ago but really started taking it serious withing the last 3 years. Highlighted by me running my very first marathon this October.

On March 15, 2026, I’ll be running the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon on behalf of Total Alignment Charitable (TA Charitable), a nonprofit providing free, one-on-one financial plans with volunteer Certified Financial Planners and offering workshops to individuals and families facing financial challenges. I am very excited to run on behalf of Total Alignment Charitable to support them in providing free financial plans to individuals and families. 

I’m proud to run for a cause that builds stronger, more empowered futures. My goal is to raise $1,000, which would further the programs and work of TA Charitable. If you can, please consider supporting this mission through a donation; your generosity truly makes an impact.
