I’ve committed to running the 2026 NYC Marathon with the Organization for Autism Research ( OAR ) with the „Run for Autism Team” which will provide me a guaranteed entry and an even bigger purpose supporting individuals with autism and their families through research, resources, and real-world impact.
I’m raising $4,000 for a cause that is very close to my heart 🧩 ❤️👨🏼🤝👨🏻❤️ Every donation makes a real difference. Why is this so important to me? Because I want to take on my own challenge—by my own choice, with my own pain, tears, and joy at the finish line 🏃🏼♀️➡️🦵🏻💪🏻
I would be incredibly grateful for your support- whether it’s: 💙 Donation 💙 Sharing this post 💙 or simply Cheering me on
Your encouragement means everything to me and will help carry me all the way to the starting line on November 1, 2026.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey ❤️
