NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon 2025

I will be running the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon on April 27, 2025 on behalf of Korean K9 Rescue in honor of Samantha Jacoff.

Korean K9 Rescue helps homeless and mistreated dogs in South Korea and in NYC and places them with loving, forever families. To date, Korean K9 Rescue has placed over 3,500 dogs in the tri-state area into adoptive homes with the help of Sam, including my dog, Bean. Sam was extremely passionate about animal rescue. From April 2022 to her passing, she dedicated herself to the mission of Korean K9 Rescue as adoption coordinator. She brought warmth, passion, and dedication to every adoption, and she made a lasting impact on everyone who crossed her path. Sam brought so much light into the world and made a difference in so many lives—both humans and canines.  

Please consider making a donation—every bit helps and will make a difference for the rescue pups Sam loved and the mission she believed in. Your support will ensure that Sam’s dedication and kindness continue to make a positive impact.

Thank you for your generosity and expect lots of photos of Bean if you donate.
