This year, I’m honored to be running the NYC Marathon in tribute to a brave young soul, Noah Kite. Noah’s courage, resilience, and spirit have been an inspiration to everyone who knows him. As I take on these 26.2 miles, I’m carrying his strength with every step.

Running for Noah means more than just crossing the finish line; it’s about celebrating his journey and supporting families and kids who need our love and hope. Please join me in honoring Noah by cheering us on, sharing his story, or supporting a cause close to his heart. Together, we’re #RunningForNoah 💙 #NYCMarathon2024
