Marathoners getting their start on the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge

As an official charity partner for a third year, we’re not simply running through the streets of New York on Sunday, November 1, 2026—we’re racing towards a future where every individual has access to comprehensive healthcare, education, and the essentials for a stable life. By committing to raise $4,000, you become part of a compassionate community dedicated to steering vulnerable families towards a horizon of health and stability. Your participation offers more than relief; it’s a commitment to transforming lives and breaking cycles of poverty and abuse.
