NYC Marathon: Run for Good
I will be one of almost 50’000 runners who will run the New York Marathon this year. To make every step count, I hope to raise funds to benefit Aiducation and NYRR Team for Kids - two non-profit organizations that give children access to education and sport.
Together we turn running into impact!
Being born in Switzerland, I have had the delight and privilege of accessing a strong education system and great sports programs. As I run the New York Marathon - a lifelong goal of mine - I want to make every kilometer count towards helping others in less fortunate circumstances enjoy the same: a great education and opportunities to discover the joy of running.
Working together, we can ensure that the next generation builds the skills, confidence, and desire to learn and be physically active.
This is what I need backing for.
Two non-profits will receive the money raised through this campaign:
Firstly, we are supporting the Swiss-based for-impact organization «Aiducation» which provides scholarships to students in African and South East Asian countries who can’t afford to go to school. As a longtime supporter and ambassador of Aiducation, I assure you that they do fantastic work.
Secondly, we are supporting the US-based «New York Road Runners Team for Kids». Through school-based programs, youth events, and a collection of digital resources, Rising New York Road Runners brings free running and fitness programs to students across the USA.
