NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon 2026

Currently Viewing

I’m supporting Volunteers of Legal Service (VOLS).

I’ve done a lot of things for causes I care about. But voluntarily running 13.1 miles (yes, I had to include the .1) might be a first. This April, I’ll be tackling a half marathon in support of Volunteers of Legal Service (VOLS), an organization very close to my heart.

VOLS connects volunteer lawyers with New Yorkers in need of free, high-quality legal help, from seniors and immigrants to small business owners and incarcerated women. I’ve been lucky to volunteer with VOLS for over three years now and see how much impact a little legal support can have on someone’s life.

So while running isn’t exactly my favorite pastime, I’m doing this because I love what VOLS stands for and the people they help every day.

If you’d like to support my run - and more importantly, the work VOLS does - please consider donating.

And if cheering is more your pace, I also welcome silly signs and cheering on the day of. I'll definitely need it!
