Why I Run
For my father.
For my brother.
For my aunt.
For my uncles.
Right now, 37 million American adults are living with kidney disease. I walk because 1 in 3 people are at risk for kidney disease. I run because more than 1 in 7 people have it but aren’t aware.
I run for my father, brother, aunt and uncles.
Kidney disease has impacted my family more than once. It's my dream to use this opportunity to not only raise funds that support the National Kidney Foundation, who was the first to identify kidney disease as a distinct, treatable illness but also check running the New York City Marathon (26.2 miles!) off my bucket list. My drive and motivation to complete this is all for my family so help me reach my goal of $3,000!
Join me in making these advances possible by donating to my efforts! Sunday, November 3 is the big marathon day and it'll be here before we know it! I'll use this page to update you on my training journey starting with a half marathon (13.1 miles!) on Sunday, April 28.
Thank you for your support. It means the world to me!
Love,
Phylicia

Halfway through training. This Saturday long run was a struggle. I had pain in my hip and lower back which made for a slow walk/run over 10 miles. To top it off, those clouds over NYC brought on/off rain.
