Stay-Focused is looking forward to fielding a solid team of five runners in this year’s 2018 TCS New York City Marathon. In its first year as a Charity Partner in 2014, Team Stay-Focused delivered a less than stellar performance with only two runners successfully crossing the Finish Line. This year, however, following a three-year absence as a Charity Partner, we are confident our five runners will not only complete the marathon, but will be successful in raising an impressive amount of funds in support of our programs for teens with disabilities. All funds raised by our enthusiastic and dedicated team of runners will be used to offer teens with disabilities (some from the NYC area) the opportunity to learn to SCUBA dive in Grand Cayman (Cayman Islands) in the summer of 2019. Stay-Focused changes the lives of teens by building their confidence, inspiring them to try new things, and motivating them to set higher goals. In the words of Stay-Focused alumna, Emma Albert, a Youth Ambassador for NYRR’s Youth Racing Program: “Stay-Focused showed me I can do anything I set my mind to.”
