A little background: The Friendship Circle exists to bring happiness and companionship to children and young adults with special needs. Friendship Circle chapters in local communities create meaningful relationships and friendships between teen volunteers and children with special needs, increasing confidence, igniting dreams, and redefining worldviews for both parties.
On a personal note, I have seen the impact of Friendship Circle on my neighborhood and community. I have been privileged to attend Friendship Circle of the Upper East Side’s events for many years. Every year on the day of the marathon, I pride myself as the #1 #TeamFriendship spectator. This year, I decided to jump in and join the race! I will be running the half-marathon on February 18, 2024 in Austin, Texas.
Throughout my life and career, I have never been afraid to pound the pavement. Ironically, running a marathon is one of my biggest fears! This challenge is about discipline, commitment, and something bigger than ourselves.
Please consider making a donation to this incredible cause that has inspired me to take this leap of faith!
