โค๏ธ Your donation can change a familyโs story.
This fundraiser became personal for me because I know what it feels like when life throws things at your family that you never saw coming.
Financial struggles. Losing people you love. Watching someone you love fight for their life. Family relationships changing. Mental health struggles. Wondering when things are finally going to get easier.
My family has lived through some of those chapters.
And it made me think about the children and families going through their own difficult chapters right now who may not have the support, resources, or financial ability to get the help they need.
Thatโs why Iโm raising $5,000 for Family & Childrenโs Association (FCA). ๐ FCA (Family & Childrenโs Association)
This isnโt just about me running 26.2 miles. TCS New York City Marathon New York Road Runners
Itโs about helping children and families have somewhere to turn when life becomes too much to handle alone.
If 200 people gave just $25, together we could reach $5,000.
You donโt have to make a huge donation to be part of making a huge difference. โค๏ธ
If this story touched you, please consider donating $10, $25, $50, or whatever feels right to you.
And if youโre fortunate enough to give more, your generosity would mean so much to the families this organization serves.
