Hey, I'm Courtney and I am running the 2024 New York City Marathon (my first marathon!) as a part of the Bronx Burners Run Club Charity Team—a registered New York nonprofit that supports local Bronx youth athletes.

At Bronx Burners RC, we build and strengthen the Bronx running community. Our initiatives and activities are designed for all backgrounds and paces to help you achieve your goals, train with others, challenge yourself, support and meet other runners, inspire and develop friendships, and be the best you. Above all, passion is at the heart and soul of everything we do.

Every dollar we raise in our Scholarship Fund goes directly to our student athletes. To date, we have been able to provide scholarships for college education, summer running camps, and other sports-focused activities for our athletes.

On top of being a nonprofit, we are also a run club that meets weekly at 7PM at Macombs Dam Park in the Bronx, right outside of Yankee Stadium. Our weekly practices are a time for us to gather as a community around something we all love—running! Practices are open to all ages and abilities.

I hope you will consider donating to this incredible cause to be the change in a young athlete's future. Thank you for your generous contribution and see you on November 3rd for my very first marathon!
