Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to run the New York City Marathon in November for a personal goal, to support a great cause and to promote health and wellness! As you probably know, I am a pediatric occupational therapist and have a special place in my heart for children who may need a little extra help. Team for Kids is putting on this marathon and all the procedes go to NYRR youth programs for New York City schools that are lacking proper physical education programs. Here are some 2015 statistics:
"26% of children in grades K-8 are obese or severly obese
32% of NYC's schools do not have full-time certified PE teachers
28% of NYC's schools do not have dedicated space for PE"
As an occupational therapist I understand the importance of adequate physical activity for developing into a healthy, successful adult. You can help support our next generation be successful by spreading awareness or making a donation!
It means so much for me to have all of your emotional support! I'm also in need of some sponsorship ($2,620 worth by October 6th, 2016) in order to participate in this life changing event. I would greatly appreciate financial support if you are able, any amount will help! All of the funds I raise will go directly to NYRR Team for Kids and the top 5 supporters will receive a free meal at California Pizza Kitchen!
I will be looking into other sources of fundraising over the next couple months and will keep you all updated if I receive other sponsorships or prizes for my greatest supporters!
