Training for this marathon has been an incredible journey so far! I am especially grateful to be doing it alongside the You Gotta Believe! organization. Their unwavering dedication to finding permanent families for older youth in foster care has inspired me every step of the way. Being part of this team means more than just crossing the finish line—it means raising awareness and support for a cause that truly changes lives. I’m honored to run with a purpose, fueled by the mission of You Gotta Believe!, and thankful for the opportunity to contribute to their impactful work.
You Gotta Believe is a NYC based nonprofit organization focused on finding permanent, loving families for older youth in foster care. We are one of few organizations working to ensure that no child ages out of the foster care system alone.
