Hi all!
Thank you so much for donating to TeamANDI! I am so excited to run the 2023 NYC Marathon and support an amazing organization while raising money for Mt. Sinai Health System!
I learned about Team ANDI on a train in Kyoto during a recent trip to Japan for Zach's 2023 Tokyo Marathon. On this train, we met Amy, the founder of this incredible charity. She told me her story and I was so touched and motivated to support her efforts! Amy and Team ANDI are raising money to support the NICU at Mt. Sinai hospital in New York. Amy shared a very moving story about her experience and difficulty during the premature birth of her second child, and the challenges she faced when she had to leave her baby in the hospital NICU each night for months. In that time, she didn't get to experience the critical early bonding experiences with her newborn and wished she could have been closer to her baby in those early months. Team ANDI's goal is to build overnight family rooms at Mt. Sinai Hospital rooms that enable families in similar situations to spend nights at the hospital with their newborns, enabling them to have quality time together with their babies!
I found this story and this mission to be very important, impactful, and valuable. I was inspired by the way Amy took this challenging time in her life and turned it into something so powerful and important like Team ANDI , which will help generations of women to come have a better experience. I am so excited to run the NYC Marathon on behlf of Team ANDI and to raise money for this incredible charity! I hope you can help me reach my goal to raise money for this great cause!
