Hi! In March, I am running the 2024 United Airlines NYC Half with Team Friendship. The Friendship Circle exists to bring happiness and companionship to children and young adults with special needs, by celebrating their individuality, as well as bringing energy, support, and peace of mind to their families. 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. Though I haven’t participated in the Friendship Circle directly, I was a member of Best Buddies International throughout my four years at Emory, which aims to fulfill a similar mission. This cause is very important to me, and I'll appreciate all the support I can get! Together we can make a difference!
Best - Juliette
