WHY I’M RUNNING
I grew up playing sports, and my parents sacrificed an incredible amount of time, energy, and money to give me opportunities they believed would shape my future. As one of four kids, weekends were spent traveling to games and tournaments, and countless hours were invested so I could compete at the highest levels.
Those opportunities eventually led me to play at American University, but the biggest impact wasn't where I played. It was learning to compete. Sports taught me to work hard, stay disciplined, and keep moving forward when things don't go according to plan. Those lessons have shaped the way I approach every challenge in my life, including this one.
The reality is that many young people never have access to those same opportunities. They may never have a coach who believes in them, a mentor who pushes them, or a program that helps them discover what they're capable of. That is why I'm running the NYC Marathon for Roads to Success. Their work helps create opportunities for young people to discover what they're capable of, and I know firsthand how life-changing those opportunities can be.
If you know me, you know I put everything I have into the things I care about. Over the next four months, I'll be training for the NYC Marathon while raising $5,000 for Roads to Success. I hope you'll follow the journey and, if you're able, help create opportunities for the next generation.
