2025 NYC Marathon: Support RAICES

As many of you already know, I have the privilege of running the 2025 NYC MARATHON — my first ever marathon.

I say it’s a privilege because for many in my community — now and generations before — opportunities like this weren’t always accessible. Running this race isn’t just about the miles; it’s about honoring those who’ve paved the way and using this moment to advocate para mi gente.

I’ve chosen to run in support of RAICES, an incredible organization that provides legal services and powerful advocacy for immigrants and asylum seekers.

I’m raising money independently, which means every single dollar you give goes straight to RAICES and their mission of justice, dignity, and equity for all immigrants.

Thank you,

Leilany
