<div>Hey everyone - I’m Kenny Silva, a firefighter currently serving as a Deputy Chief with the Somerville, MA Fire Department and a proud Reading, MA resident. This year, I am running the NYC Marathon, and raising money for an incredible cause: NYPD With Arms Wide Open.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They’re a 501(c)3 non-profit that helps NYPD families who have children with special needs and medical complexities - offering therapy, financial support, and programs that make a real difference in their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A fellow firefighter introduced me to the charity - someone who has personally experienced what these families go through. After hearing his story, and learning more about what this organization does, I knew I wanted to step up and be a part of it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although our friends in law enforcement don’t share the same cooking skills or the ability to have some “downtime” during the workday, we still share the same struggles when it comes to work/family related issues that oftentimes require a little help from our brothers and sisters in uniform.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am committed to raising $4,000 to run the NYC Marathon, and I would be incredibly grateful for anything you can give. Every little bit helps, and 100% of all funds raised go toward helping the children and families of NYPD With Arms Wide Open.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks for the support! I’ll be thinking of you all during those 26.2 miles!!
