Hello!
Aldo and I are excited to have the opportunity to run the 2020 New York City marathon this November. It is the 50th anniversary of the marathon this year, and we are training for and hoping to run our first marathon in the city we love and call home!
We’ve joined Team Save The Children's marathon team, and are raising funds for their mission. Save The Children is a non-profit organization helping to improve the lives of children in the USA and around the world. They currently have operations in over 120 countries, working to give kids a healthy start in life, education opportunities, and protection from harm. Right now, Save the Children is partnering with No Kid Hungry to ensure children across the U.S. who are missing school due to coronavirus closures can still have access to meals.
If you're able to support our marathon fundraising goals, and Team Save the Children, please donate today! (Aldo and I are on a team, so donations to either of our pages will be pooled together to help us reach our goal!)
These are unprecedented times, and we can’t be sure the marathon will take place this year. We don’t know what will happen, but we do know that organizations like Save The Children will be helping others no matter what is going on in the world. Thank you, and stay safe and well!
Karen and Aldo
