Erica's 2023 NYC Marathon Fundraiser

I'm honored to earn a charity spot on the Chris Klug Foundation 2023 New York City Marathon team! I’m excited to represent anyone and everyone that is running for their goals and dreams while helping save lives! CKF was founded in 2003 by Olympic Bronze Medalist and liver transplant recipient, Chris Klug. The NYC marathon fundraiser allows CKF to inspire, educate, and register individuals as organ, eye, and tissue donors.

Support a Mile & Help Save Lives: I am committed to raising a minimum of $3,500 for CKF and have $3,500 in projected race-related expenses. Any funds raised beyond the initial $7,000 goal for this GoFundMe will be donated directly to CKF to help them fulfill their mission. Your support at any level helps!

Run With Me (in Spirit) on Race Day: Your name will be in the brim of my hat and I’ll be thinking of everyone each mile or bridge of the race. Plus, I’ll send you a postcard from NYC sharing my race experience with you! Donations can be in any amount and are so appreciated!

So far, I’m running in honor of these amazing people. If you see an empty spot you want please let me know!
