It has always been my dream to run the NYC Marathon. This year, I have the opportunity not only to run a marathon in the city I love the most, but also to give back while doing so by running for City Harvest. City Harvest is an incredible organization that provides essential services to New Yorkers in all boroughs by ensuring that all people in need have access to delicious and nutritious food. City Harvest delivered 100+ million pounds of food last year and has worked nonstop to make sure that no New Yorker goes hungry. Given the challenges posed by the pandemic and economic uncertainty, City Harvest's mission is instrumental in eliminating hunger in NYC. The TCS New York City Marathon represents the best of New York—when all New Yorkers come together to support each other and cheer on their neighbors. For the eleventh year, City Harvest has been selected as a charity partner for the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon taking place on Sunday, November 5, 2023. This year, City Harvest Food Council Members Chef Dan Churchill, Chef and Co-Founder of Charley St High-Protein Crumbles, and Chef David Shim of Michelin-starred COTE Korean Steakhouse are coming together to Co-Captain Team City Harvest. Under their leadership, City Harvest’s team of 100 runners aims to raise enough to help feed nearly 1.2 million New Yorkers who are struggling to put good, nutritious food on their tables for a day. I could not be more honored to support City Harvest while I train for and run the NYC Marathon in November. I would be incredibly grateful for any contribution made to our fundraising efforts. While I know that running 26.2 miles will be an intimidating challenge, I couldn't be more inspired by City Harvest's mission and organization and we hope that you join us in supporting City Harvest through our fundraising efforts.
