Story
I am so excited to be running the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon on behalf of Good Grief. I have wanted to run the New York Marathon for a few years now, and once I found that Good Grief was a registered charity, it felt serendipitous. For those of you who know my family, Good Grief is an organization near and dear to our hearts.
Good Grief builds resilience in children, strengthens families, and empowers communities to grow from loss and adversity. They stand on the front lines supporting grieving children and families wherever they are, whenever they need it, for as long as they need it. One in seven kids will experience the death of a parent or sibling before the age of 25, equating to over 280,000 kids in NJ. Without the right support, this traumatic experience can result in long term mental and physical health problems such as anxiety and depression. The need for Good Grief's free programs continues to grow. I am committed to positively impacting the lives of children. Join me in changing the future for grieving kids.
