A MESSAGE FROM Help Alison Run the NYC Marathon
After starting my year with ACL surgery, it is my goal to finish the year running the NYC marathon. I made this decision to overcome my injury and ensure I stick with my recovery training, but more importantly to prove to myself anything is possible with a little hard work... and that my body isn't falling apart because I'm getting older!
This year, I am joining the New York Junior League's marathon team. In order to run with this amazing group of women, I need to raise $3,500. Will you help me reach my goal?
