Support the National Immigrant Justice Center

I am running the NYC 2025 Marathon. I am also moving out of New York this year, and as my farewell, “I love you” gift to this city, I knew I wanted to use this experience to give back to the city I’ve been lucky enough to call home. The first places in New York that welcomed me, Washington Heights and the Bronx, were predominately made up of immigrants. It was a gift to know those people and hear their stories. Immigrants make New York the special place it is. So for my marathon, I’m fundraising for the National Immigrant Justice Center. You can read more about their mission below!

“The National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) defends the rights of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Our advocacy and legal services teams keep families together, free people from the dangers of immigrant detention, and prevent asylum seekers and long-time community members from being deported based on unjust laws and illegal government actions.“
