Hi everyone,
I am so excited to be running the NYC marathon 2023 and raising money for Team ANDI. Team ANDI raises money for Mount Sinai hospital- specifically to build private rooms in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) so that parents can experience private time with their newborn babies while they are confined to the NICU (sometimes for months) and receiving care.
I met Amy through one of my best friends from childhood, Lauren Mintz, and when I heard about Amy’s cause, and her amazing marathon experience, I immediately felt compelled to be a part of it.
Any possible way to make it easier for parents to bond with their newborns, especially under challenging circumstances, is so vital for families. I truly believe that. And, since this will be my first marathon, having an amazing, positive, and upbeat team to be a part of, will greatly enhance my experience.
I’m sure of it.
So thank you SO much for supporting team ANDI and me as I take on this bucket list goal of completing my first marathon in my home city of NYC. I really appreciate you all!
Lots of love,
Havi
