As an Official Charity Partner, our Waverunners’ team of five is not just running through the streets of New York on Sunday, November 3, 2024—they’re racing towards a future where every individual has access to comprehensive healthcare, education, and the essentials for a stable life. Be a part of a compassionate community dedicated to steering vulnerable families towards a horizon of health and stability. Your support offers more than aid; it’s a commitment to transforming lives and breaking the cycles of poverty and abuse.
Waverunner spotlight: Karen Solano
When Karen arrived from Mexico in 2017, her family had been separated for almost six years. Six years is a long interval, and a marathon is a very long race, but Karen has shown the patience, resilience and determination needed to run the 26.2-mile course with her Waverunner teammates.
Upon on her arrival in the U.S. as a teenager, Karen was aware that her life would undergo significant changes. However, she quickly adapted, using running as a tool to make friends and discover her passion: sociology and urban studies. As a member of the Lehman College track team, she has already achieved first place in her wave during a 5,000-meter race. In her role as a senior outreach associate at The Floating Hospital, she is dedicated to building a healthier and stronger community.
Your support will enable Karen to achieve more than just a personal triumph; it will empower her to make a lasting impact on New York City’s families in need. Together, we can help Karen cross the finish line and create a brighter future for our community.
