Well, well, well…this is it, friends! Water-ya-know? Your pal Ali is officially running her first marathon! And, more importantly, I’m running those 26.2 miles to raise $6,000 for charity:water. 100% of every gift will go towards building a well and providing clean and safe drinking water for an entire community. With your support, more people will have access to this vital resource—improving health, helping children stay in school, and empowering community members, especially women, to invest in their futures. Thank you for your partnership and being a part of this exciting journey!

You can learn more about charity:water and their incredible work at charitywater.org. I'll also be sharing fundraising, training, and race day updates on Instagram @alirunsamarathon!
