Big News: I’m Running the Tokyo Marathon for Charity!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been selected as a charity runner for the Tokyo Marathon—one of the most iconic races in the world and a lifelong dream of mine. And the best part? I get to run it in support of a cause that truly matters.

Thanks to the Tokyo Marathon Foundation’s Sports Legacy Program, I have the chance to support a mission that promotes inclusion, accessibility, and the power of sport to transform lives.

Why It Matters

The Sports Legacy Program supports:

Creating sports opportunities for children and people with disabilities ♿️

Preserving the Olympic spirit ✨

Promoting health and community through sport ❤️

My Marathon Journey

Tokyo will be my third World Marathon Major—after Berlin and Chicago—and I’m on a mission to complete all six (next up: Boston, London, and New York!). This journey is about more than medals; it’s about resilience, community, and chasing bold goals.

How You Can Help

Donate—every dollar brings me closer to the start line (and helps fuel this incredible cause).

Share—spread the word to anyone who loves sport, travel, or making a difference.

Follow along—cheer me on and celebrate the finish line with me in March 2026!

Thank you so much for being part of this adventure. Let’s make something amazing happen—together.

With gratitude (and lots of running shoes),

Zaj
