November, New York Marathon, 26.2 Miles

I run for the thrill. I run to be able to eat whatever I want. I run to justify the many pairs of trainers I own. I run to be a part of something big.

I run for 100 women who need my support and yours. I am running for AdvocAid, an organization that provides legal aid, literacy classes and critical welfare to women and girls detained in prisons across Sierra Leone, West Africa, where my marathon dreams started.
