Donation protected
Hello, hello!!! I'm running the NYRR NYC Marathon on November 2nd, 2026 for the Reading Partners non-profit charity team!

I've been volunteering with Reading Partners NYC as a weekly tutor at my local Bed-Stuy elementary school, P.S. 54, for 2 years. It's been one of the most fulfilling volunteer opportunities I've ever had. As a lifelong reader, I've enjoyed working with students to progress their reading skills and to pass along a love and excitement for reading. Coming out of the pandemic, like many, I was dismayed to see how much students lost ground in fundamental literacy skills due to remote learning and a variety of other factors. Giving some of my time to help students get back to their assigned reading levels seemed like a no-brainer to me. Little did I know how much it would make an impact on me.

For 25 years and counting, Reading Partners has been mobilizing communities to provide proven, individualized reading support to put students on a path toward reading at grade level by fourth grade.

I've run a bunch of races so it feels right to finally tackle the NYC Marathon on behalf of a charity that I love to support students in my community!
