I’m running the New York City Marathon for NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, raising funds for care, research, and the people whose lives they touch.

The Cause

Why it matters

I’m running in support of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, whose work goes far beyond treating illness. They’re helping expand what care can look like, supporting both physical and mental health, and making care more accessible to the communities they serve.

Running for NewYork-Presbyterian feels especially meaningful to me. They made this race possible, and I connect deeply with what they represent.

Their work sits at the intersection of physical and mental health in a way that feels especially important right now. From complex medical care to mental health services, they support people through some of the most vulnerable and uncertain moments of their lives.

This season of my life has also been one of uncertainty. I just graduated from Kellogg and am still exploring what comes next. While it looks very different from what their patients face, it has made me think more about what it means to feel supported, grounded, and cared for.

Running this marathon for them is a way to connect something personal to something beyond myself. I get to choose to train, to rest, to take care of my body. Their patients don’t always have that choice. Supporting a system that helps people access that care is a privilege and an honor.
