I love to run and have run several 5Ks in the past. The United Half will be my longest distance yet. I'm asking for your support so that I can push past personal barriers while supporting my neighbors in facing systemic barriers to make it for the long run and reach our full potential!

I am so excited to support the amazing work of University Settlement. I have a daughter at Creative Steps (a University Settlement Early Childhood Education Center) and am excited to support the ongoing youth development and mental health work that University Settlement spearheads.

About University Settlement:

University Settlement partners with 40,000 New Yorkers (newborns to elders) every year to build on their strengths, challenge systemic inequality, and reach their full potential.

Their comprehensive programming includes early childhood education, mental health and wellness, benefits assistance and eviction prevention, adult literacy and education, healthy aging, community and recreation centers, performing and visual arts, and youth development.
