Friendship Circle has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life since I began volunteering during my freshman year of highschool. Since my first day, I could see the warm and welcoming nature of everyone involved, and the smiles that volunteering put on kids' faces. The programs Friendship Circle provides not only bring joy and fun, but also meaningful and necessary opportunities for kids to work on important social skills. The relationships and experiences I've built over the years have helped shape who I am and I couldn't be more proud to be running the NYC Marathon with Team Friendship. Help me reach my fundraising goal for Team Friendship Circle to help support all the important programs they provide.
