Hello there! I am very excited to be running the 2020 TCS New York City Marathon for Team Save the Children. Running this marathon has been a big dream of mine and it will be even more meaningful knowing that I am running for children all over the world.
WHY I CHOSE SAVE THE CHILDREN
Growing up in Matamoros, Mexico, I have witnessed how many children live in extreme poverty with no social programs or support to help them. Although I didn't grow up rich, I feel extremely lucky to have grown up without having to worry about food, healthcare, abuse, or a hopeless future. I chose this charity because it helps children who are in the most desperate circumstances where our help can save their lives. Choosing a charity that is transparent and does what it says was very important for me as well. At Save the Children, 87% of every dollar that is donated goes straight to helping children in the US and around the world.
ABOUT SAVE THE CHILDREN
For nearly 100 years, Save the Children has done whatever it takes to create a world where no young child dies from a preventable cause, all children learn from a quality basic education, and violence against children is not tolerated. Where every child has the best chance for a bright future. From supporting refugees in transit centers in the US border to providing shelter to children in Syria, Save the Children is about helping children in the most dire circumstances. I'm proud to make my miles matter for kids across the world. Please support my efforts by donating to my page today.
