NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon 2026
I’m supporting Understood for All, Inc..
My running journey began the moment I signed up for the 2025 NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon back in late 2024. At the time, I had never run a half marathon before, but I was excited by the challenge and wanted to push myself. Through patience, hard work, and regular training, I met my goal.
Now a year later, I am amazed by the profound impact running has had on my life. I am running the 2026 NYC marathon this November, hoping to again challenge myself. I attribute a newfound confidence and sense of calm to running, in addition to the many other positive effects it has had on my physical, mental, and emotional health.
It is an honor to run the same half marathon that helped me discover this purpose, just a year later and on behalf of Understood. There could be no better fit than to do what helps me thrive in support of Understood, an organization dedicated to helping those that learn and think differently thrive. I hope that through this half marathon I can play a small part in contributing to Understood's mission.
