I'm excited to announce that I will be running the New York City Marathon on November 3rd, which coincides with my 2nd anniversary of being in the city!
Watch a bit more about my journey with running here
The charity I am raising money for is an initiative set up by NYRR (New York Road Runners), targeted at offsetting carbon emissions by planting and managing trees and forests all over the East Coast. They also work to maintain the parks and environment around the city, which is very important to me as I spend a lot of time in them!
For more information on this initiative, please visit nyrr.org/teamforclimate.
I need your help! I need to raise $3000 by the beginning of November. As well as running TWO marathons, I will be rewarding those who donate with the following tiers*:
Up to $25: A handwritten postcard
$50: A sketch of your pet or plant or human you like
$100: A 5x7 print of one of my photographs from the archive (likely of New York).
$250+: A custom drawing, painting, or photograph of anything you want. Honestly, name it and I’ll make it
*You get to pick one reward based on your donation amount!
Please be patient with me and message me with what you would like as well as your address so I can send it to you!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!
If you didn't already know, I have taken up running rather seriously over the last year or so, and as of writing this, I am on day 75 of a run streak (running every day) reaching an average of 38 miles/ week. These numbers are set to grow as I've officially committed to running not one, but two marathons (I'll also be running the Hamptons Marathon on September 28th with my pal James)
Running and fitness in general have changed my life. I never thought I'd be capable of doing something every day for this long, but it's really incredible being able to see the differences in my speed, fitness levels, and mindset. This journey has truly shown me that consistent effort pays off. Also, there are some great communities out there that I wouldn't have found if I hadn't been running (👋 Ridgewood Runners)
Thank you so much again! I am so excited to be running these races. If anyone is in the city and wants to join me for training, please reach out!
Lots of love, Eloise
