I will be running the 127th Boston Marathon to raise money for Trinity Boston Connects. I was first introduced to TBC by Rich and Anna Levitan who established a Trinity Education for Excellence Program (TEEP) scholarship in honor of their daughter Merritt. 
 
TBC connects people, programs, and practices to heal the traumatic impact of systemic racism in Boston. Donating will help support TBC’s Sole Train program, a community building and mentoring program for youth that uses running as a vehicle for setting and achieving seemingly impossible goals. This year, I  have enjoyed participating in Sole Train as an "Old Sole", where I attend weekly running practices at Josiah Quincy Elementary School and help elementary students prepare for our races! 

I am so excited to be running my first marathon and even more excited to be supporting such an important foundation. If you can, please donate to my fundraising project!
