Hi everyone!

I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be running the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon, a dream that’s been many years in the making!

My love for running started in high school which lead me to completing half marathons and my first full marathon in college. Running has taught me discipline, resilience, and the joy of community, and now I’m honored to take on the ultimate challenge: 26.2 miles through the streets of New York City.

Even more meaningful is the cause I get to run for: NYPD With Arms Wide Open. This incredible 501(c)3 nonprofit provides support, therapy, and resources for NYPD families who have children with special needs and medical complexities. Their work makes a life-changing difference for these families, and I’m proud to dedicate my training and miles to them.

I’ve committed to raising $4,000, and every dollar goes directly toward helping these children and their families thrive. Every bit of support brings us closer to the finish line together.

Thank you so much for cheering me on in this journey. I’ll be carrying all of your encouragement with me through every mile of race day!

With gratitude,

Olivia
