Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Kristy and I live in Utah. I am an optimist who believes in hard work and chasing dreams (some times literally running those dreams down).

I started running marathons after the birth of my 2nd child. I quickly fell in love with the challenges and gratitude I experienced during my trainings and races. While living in New York City in 2012, I started dreaming of running the New York City Marathon, even though I’d yet to run my first marathon. This November, over 10 years and 5 marathons later, I have the opportunity to run the dream!

I am so grateful to be able to run the New York City Marathon with team Keep A Child Alive (KCA). KCA is a global organization founded by Alicia Keys (yes that Alicia Keys) that helps children and their families who are suffering from HIV/AIDS in parts of Africa and Asia. By joining KCA, I am able to gain entry to the New York City Marathon and put more meaning behind my many miles as I work to raise $4,000 for KCA this year!

It would mean SO much to me if you would consider supporting me in my dream to run the New York City Marathon and make a difference in a child’s life by making a donation. A double thanks if you could share my page and help me spread awareness and promote change! I will personally cover all of my own expenses related to the race, which means all donations will go directly towards my fundraising goal for KCA.

Donations made through this platform are secure and the full amount will be remitted directly through to KCA.

Thanks so much for your support! Happy dream chasing!!
