On Sunday, March 16th, I'm proud to be running as part of Team ALS TDI for the upcoming United Airlines NYC Half. I will be running 13.1 miles on behalf of The ALS Therapy Development Institute, an Official Charity Partner. Your donations fuel  continuous efforts to advance promising treatments for those living with ALS.

AS most of you know, my mother, Prudence Runyan, passed away last year after a 2 year journey with ALS. This past year has been marked by mourning her passing and trying to pick ourselves back up and keep moving forward. While I do not identify as a runner, when I saw that ALS TDI (an organization that was very near and dear to my mom's heart!) was forming a team for the NYC half (on my 40th birthday no less!) it felt like a little sign from the universe to lace up and get moving.

There are so many places your hard earned dollars can go today - we're living in trying times and so many people and places need support. If a donation is not in the cards, that is OK! Please spread the word if you can, and check out the amazing work that ALS TDI does here.
