HERE'S THE STORY:
Friends and Family!
As many of you know, I've decided to run the New York City Marathon this year! I'm still a little incredulous that I'm really doing it, but I started training in early July and there's no turning back now! I've been inspired by seeing some of my friends do various marathons/triathlons in the past few years so have been thinking about running the marathon for a while now and finally decided to just go for it. I'm sure it will be an amazing experience that I won't regret. I'm really excited about this opportunity for a few reasons:
-
I'm running for a great cause, the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation (more on that below)
-
The New York City Marathon is one of the most awesome of them all, like the city itself, and running the marathon feels like a capstone experience of living here
-
I look forward to seeing all five NYC boroughs on foot!
I’m running for the Bed Stuy Restoration Corporation (AKA “Restoration”), a great community development organization. In fact, Restoration is the nation's first community development corporation, founded by Robert F. Kennedy and Jacob Javits in 1967. My goal is to raise $3,000 for the organization. Over the years, BSRC has created 2,200 affordable apartments, attracted more than $375 million in investments to Central Brooklyn, placed over 20,000 youth and adults in jobs, and provided arts education to to 400 students, ages 3-19, each year. In addition, Restoration is a strong partner organization to many Brooklyn community nonprofits including Grow Brooklyn, a small community based organization whose Board I sit on.
So all this is leading up to my big ask... Will you please donate a dollar a mile, five dollars a mile or ten dollars a mile or whatever amount is comfortable for you? I would sincerely appreciate your support, and it will go a long way in helping this awesome Brooklyn-based organization. Thanks in advance for your support!
