“I’m going to think about today, November 5th, 2023, I did this and I was here.” – Mandy Kwan, 2023 #TCSNYCMarathon finisher and #TeamInspire member
 
Re-introducing our friend, Mandy!👋 Mandy immigrated to Brooklyn from Hong Kong when she was 11 years old and has called the borough home ever since. In 2015, she started attending #NYRROpenRun sessions in Marine Park, where she feels inspired to run as the community welcomed her parents, children, and herself with open arms. This past year, she completed her first NYRR race along with the #TCSNYCMarathon as her first marathon. 🙌🎉
 
This race means so much more than 26.2 miles to Mandy - let’s show her some 🧡 in the comments and be sure to check out part two of her race experience at the link in bio.
