Marathon Journey to Support Ronald McDonald House

If you know me, you know how much I love running. It’s been a source of joy, strength, and community in my life — and now, I have the opportunity to use that passion for something even more meaningful.

In 2026, I’ll be running the Tokyo Marathon — one of the world’s most iconic races — as a charity runner to raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House. My goal is to raise $3,000 to support their work providing a “second home” for families with seriously ill children receiving treatment far from home.

These homes offer more than a bed — they provide kitchens, playrooms, laundry rooms, and spaces for families to find comfort and support during incredibly difficult times. Everything is made possible through donations and the dedication of volunteers.

Running this race while fundraising for such a powerful cause adds an entirely new layer of purpose to the experience. It’s a reminder that the miles we run can make a real difference — and I’d be so grateful if you’d consider joining me in that.

Every donation helps make life a little easier for families facing the unthinkable. Let’s do something amazing together.

With gratitude,

Fe Maria
