Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

I'm thrilled to be running in the 2019 NYC Marathon for team charity:water!! I've had the pleasure getting to know some of the charity:water employees over the past few years and see the major impact they have around the world. With my goal and your help, we will be able to provide access to clean water for 166 people!

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

Running a marathon is a personal goal of mine for 2019 and to be doing that while also raising awareness for an amazing cause has inspired me to push myself to the limit and run the marathon in 3hrs 40mins (8:24 mile). I challenge you all to hold me accountable. I'll be sharing updates along the way and hope you can join me on this adventure!

Thank you :)
