There is nothing easy about running a marathon. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, training, perseverance, and mental toughness to cross the finish line after 26.2 miles. In each of the four marathons I have run, I am always inspired by the runners with special needs and disabilities that I see along the course as we cheer each other on to keep going. It's a special feeling because I think about how much harder it must be for them to get to that moment as opposed to me.
One of the coolest things about running a marathon, especially a World Major Marathon like New York City, is that whether you are an elite runner, an accountant turned marathoner, or a runner with special needs, you all run the same course, on the same day, and have the same opportunity to succeed.
I believe people with special needs deserve the opportunity to have an active healthy lifestyle and engage with others through sports. I am running the 2022 New York City Marathon to support those with special needs through RallyCap Sports! RallyCap is an awesome organization which provides sports programs for children and young adults and has a Michigan chapter based in Mt. Pleasant. Help me transform the lives of these extraordinary individuals through RallyCap Sports!
