Macy's Half Marathon with BBBS of NYC

Everybody talks about problems like loneliness, lack of community, and lack of good spaces for kids to be kids, off their phones. At Big Brothers Big Sisters I see people doing something about that.

As a Big in the community mentorship program I get to see firsthand what BBBS is all about. My Little, Tamara, is the coolest, and is always excited to try something new together. Like me, she loves to get involved in as many activities as possible. Also like me, sometimes she gets stressed out by all the commitments she now has, so lately we've been working on a lot of organizational tips. Luckily I have plenty of experience with that, lol.

As a member of the Young Professionals Committee I'm so inspired by how many busy young people come together to fundraise, create more awareness around BBBS, and donate their time. It's so fun to not only have this great group of friends, but to all be united around such an important mission at BBBS.

Obligatory plug since I'm also the marketing chair: if you're interested in joining the YPC, check out our instagram for more info and the link to sign up!

I'm so excited to be running and raising money for an organization that I love so much, and hope you'll consider donating to support!
