NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon 2025

As many of you know, my sister Samantha passed away from cancer in October of last year.

She was a great lover of dogs, and dedicated her life to making sure dogs in need found caring homes through the pet adoption service she worked for, Korean K9 Rescue, applying her trademark mix of passion, warmth and witty humor to the delight of her coworkers and the many families she so positively impacted.

To honor Samantha’s life and memory, Korean K9 is forming a team to run in this April’s Brooklyn Half Marathon. Myself, father, sister Alyson and many of her friends and colleagues will be participating.

We are humbly asking for donations, in memory of Samantha, to help the organization she so deeply cared about, Korean K9, achieve its fundraising goals. Every dollar counts in helping the mission she believed in, and your support will ensure Sam’s dedication and kindness continue to have a positive impact.
