“I first worked with GallopNYC in 2016 and saw firsthand how special their programs are. I am honored to be representing GallopNYC in the 2023 TCS NYC Marathon. This marathon will also complete my goal of running seven marathons on seven continents. I saved the best for last!”

“My daughter was born in 2018 at an extremely premature age and we have had quite a complex medical journey since then. Through strength and perseverance, she has blown away expectations and jumped through every hurdle placed in front of her. We have been fortunate to have GallopNYC as one of her mainstay therapies which have aided in her tremendous progress. She is my daily inspiration and I’m honored to support GallopNYC on her behalf.”

“Volunteering at GallopNYC during the pandemic was a wonderful and fun way to learn about the outstanding work at Gallop NYC to support those with disabilities and I also loved getting to know the horses! I've been running for many years which is my way of processing what I've experienced during the day and week. For that reason, I can't wait to combine my admiration for Gallop NYC's work with my passion for running at the 2023 NYC Marathon.”

“My wife is one of the therapists who work for GallopNYC. I have been able to get firsthand knowledge of how important the therapeutic impact the horses have for their riders. Running the TCS NYC Marathon gives me the opportunity to help contribute to the cause.”
