I can hardly believe that I finally have the opportunity to cross off a long-time bucket list item of mine… running the NYC Marathon!

Having spent nearly a decade of my life as an elite basketball player, I am no stranger to pushing myself beyond my limits physically and mentally.

For me, accomplishing a challenge like running 26.2 miles requires a “why” to fuel you to the finish line. In my research of the hundreds of amazing charities you can fundraise for, I came across KCA.

I could not think of a more noble, deserving cause than to be raising money for an organization that helps children to reach their potential and live healthier, happier lives.
