Katie's Marathon Run for With Arms Wide Open

Hello. My name is Katie Kelly. I am a full-time nurse and mother to four adorable children and two dogs. My husband is a Lieutenant in the New York City Police Department. This year I will be running the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon for With Arms Wide Open. This will by my 4th marathon.

Each year I have chosen to participate in a charity that is near and dear to my heart. This year I have chosen With Arms Wide Open because, as the mother of a special needs child, I understand the hardships families often face, both emotionally and financially. I hope that any donations raised will assist in providing other families with much needed guidance and support.
