Together, running and AAJA helped me get through the unease of not having a job post-college. And because these two things intersected at such a pivotal moment in my life, it feels fitting that, given the opportunity to run in the New York City Marathon and fundraise for an organization at the same time, that I would do this for AAJA.
That being said, please donate to help me reach my goal of $5,000!
====================================================
Here's how AAJA has supported me over the years...
*Note: Some of the interactions below are one-on-one interactions, while others are panels, workshops, meet-ups/mixers, etc. The money raised from this fundraiser will help AAJA continue hosting programs like these in order to continue providing support to those of us in the journalism industry. 😊
