$92,730 towards $36,000

I am honored and thrilled to announce that together we raised an extraordinary $92,530 for Studio in a School through Sunday's New York City Marathon!

To everyone who cheered me on, followed my training, tracked my progress on race day, or generously contributed to my fundraising efforts, endless thanks!


When I first laced up my running shoes, I hoped to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the incredible young artists and students served by Studio in a School. Thanks to your extraordinary generosity, we exceeded even my wildest expectations.

Together, we raised $42,530, and our incredibly generous Angel Donor stepped up and rounded their matching contribution to $50,000, bringing our grand total to a remarkable $92,530!

As the saying goes, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

I cannot think of a more fitting sentiment to describe this experience.

While I may have run the 26.2 miles, this was very much a team effort. I could not have crossed the finish line, or reached this extraordinary fundraising milestone, without each and every one of you in my corner.

You reminded me that generosity, kindness, friendship, and a shared sense of purpose can accomplish extraordinary things.

Thank you for making every mile count and, more importantly, for helping bring the transformative power of art and arts education to deserving children throughout New York City.

Already looking forward to returning next year, raising even more money, and hopefully turning in a faster time as we celebrate Studio in a School's 50th anniversary!

From the bottom of my heart, endless thanks to you all.

Running has always been a way for me to clear my mind, challenge and push myself to the limit, and return to what truly matters. During the 2026 New York City Marathon, each mile will become a small gesture toward something lasting: a place where young people can create, explore, and see the world, and themselves, with fresh eyes. I am grateful for the opportunity to support Studio in a School in their mission to foster the creative and intellectual development of students from 3K to 12th grade through rich experiences with visual arts. Founded in 1977, Studio has touched the lives of over 1.2 million students. Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Studio in a School and help continue to expand that reach and impact. I invite you to join me in making a meaningful difference.
