A MESSAGE FROM Allie’s NY Marathon Fundraising Page
I’m running my FIRST marathon and I couldn’t be more excited to run on behalf of an amazing charity in the greatest city in the world!!
First Candle is committed to ending Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and other sleep-related infant deaths while providing bereavement support to families who have experienced a loss. More info here: https://firstcandle.org/
I’m honored to be part of Team First Candle. If you know me, you know that I’ve always:
1. Loved children. My younger brother was born when I was 11. I remember first learning about SIDS in a babysitting course I took prior to his birth to help prepare me to be a big sister. I helped take care of my brother when he was a baby and loved doing so. I’m passionate about SIDS education for parents and siblings.
2. Pushed myself physically to take on new challenges. Training to run the marathon is one of the most rewarding challenges to date. It isn’t easy, but I know I’m running for an important cause and to better myself, not just physically. Running teaches discipline, mental toughness, and the importance of good and consistent habits.
I can’t wait to run in November! Thank you so much for your support, whether it’s a donation or sending positive vibes to NYC on race day!
