Running the NYC Marathon to End ALS — Inspired by Augie’s Fight This November, I’ll stand on the starting line of the New York City Marathon not just as a runner, but as someone determined to make a difference. My goal: raise $10,000 for ALS research through Augie’s Quest — and help bring us closer to a cure. Augie Nieto’s story has profoundly inspired me. Despite his ALS diagnosis, Augie transformed his fight into a powerful mission, dedicating his life to advancing research and giving hope to thousands of families. His strength, resilience, and refusal to give up remind me why this cause matters so deeply — and why I’m running. We’ve already raised over $6,000, but I’m pushing hard for the final stretch before race day. Every step I take in New York will be fueled by people like Augie — and by the support of those who believe that together, we can change the future of this disease. Whether it’s $10, $26.20 (a dollar for every mile), or more, every gift moves us closer to breakthroughs that save lives. Thank you for being part of this journey — and for helping turn every mile into meaningful progress. 💛
