What's it to you?
Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, learning disabilities…. all can sound very daunting at a glance, but these kids live their lives with bigger smiles and more positivity than many of us live our lives with. Milal is not just a place where I go to “serve”, “help out”, and be a “support”; rather, it is where I go to learn, reflect, and grow as a person... Get recharged from their infectious energy and get reminded that small things often matter the most in our life. (Please find out more about my cause at http://www.nymilal.org/)

Running my first half marathon in NYC, I still remember the miraculous berth of energy that surfaced at around mile 10 as I hit a ‘wall’… the thought of having 86 supporting friends on my back… and the ensuing surge of gratitude for everyone that I’ve crossed paths with in my life...
I can only imagine how real the ‘wall’ will be on a full marathon at mile 22 or 23; I would love to be able to reach down and pull the pocket of energy gifted from you. Please help me relive that high again, and it would be my joy to share this memory with you.

It truly matters not the size of your donation, but it would mean the world to me to see your name on the list. If we have not spoken to each other in a while, it would be a great way to reconnect and jog back the memory lane. Appreciate you all very much

*Milal Mission in NY Inc is a 501(c)3 organization
