    With just a few hours left for my fundraiser, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for contributing and helping to bring clean water to people who need it. Your support means so much to me!

    Running the NYC Marathon for the charity: water team was an incredible experience! In 20 weeks of training, I invested over 261 hours of my time (counting yoga and strength training) and I ran over 515 miles. The marathon itself was so much fun with amazing crowd support, and running over the NYC bridges was really unique. Knowing that all that was done to help bring clean water to approximately 75 people in Bangladesh made it all worthwhile!!

    Every donation goes a long way, and I am grateful that, together, we are able to bring life’s most basic need to people living in some of the most remote locations on Earth.

    Thanks again and Happy New Year!!
