It is with great honor to announce that I am committed to fundraising for Girls Inc. of New York City for the 2022 TCS NYC Marathon.

Girls Inc. of New York City inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold by delivering life-transforming programs that prepare New York City's girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers to advance to a more equitable world. Our evidence-based programming is supported by trained professionals who focus on the development of the whole girl, supporting, mentoring and guiding girls in an affirming, pro-girl environment. Girls learn to value their whole selves, discover and develop their strengths, and receive the support they need to navigate their challenges.

Now, more than ever, girls need a place like Girls Inc. A place they can build confidence, discover their voice, and advocate for themselves and others. Somewhere they can gain the knowledge, skills, and support to defy their limitations and reach their potential. Girls are a powerful force for change!

I achieved many of my dreams and I am still dreaming and have many goals I want to accomplish. I’m often told by my peers that I am a strong, intelligent, and independent woman. However, I think it’s important to note that I would not be who I am today if it weren’t for the help, guidance, encouragement, and inspiration I received from others. There have been times I’ve felt discouraged, nervous, and insecure about my future. I learned that when you have a foundation, a built-in community of love and support, you are unstoppable and can make your dreams come true.

Please consider donating and helping me provide girls with the opportunities to grow, lead, and achieve. Thank you for your continued support!
