TCS New York City Marathon

Sole Sisters

 

It all started under the orange lights.

A group of friends who worked out together regularly (and met each other!) at Orangetheory had a goal to run their first half marathon in 2022. They had ran 5 and 10k races and knew that this was going to be their next achievement. They trained together, supported one another and formed bonds that still run deep today. Little did they know that this would turn into something so much bigger.

Before the first half marathon even approached, Courtney had decided to enter the lottery for the NYC Half Marathon set to take place in March ‘23. Luck was on her side and she got accepted! So now she had not one half marathon, but two to tackle. Tara was taking a trip with the family to NYC in March and thought it would be fun to join the race too, and was able to secure a spot with ACS DetermiNation.

Once their first half was complete, they got back to training for NYC which was only a few weeks away. Their amazing friends trained alongside them - encouraging and supporting each other along the way.

Race Day approached and it was even better than expected. The energy from the crowd, the beautiful city of New York and amazing runners all there for the same goal, made this a day to remember forever. 

Now, several half marathons later, the next step is to tackle the big one - 26.2 miles in the greatest city in the world.

Please help us reach our goal while supporting cancer patients and research along the way.

How Fundraising Impacts Your Community

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.

As of January 2022, we have invested $400 M for potentially lifesaving cancer research grants.

We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021

Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.

Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.  

Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
