## Caption

My 3rd time running the #nycmarathon and Every time I participate in this event I’m reminded why I love this event so much. It’s more than competition — it’s connection.
It’s the energy in the streets, the strangers cheering your name, the unity that only this city can create.

I love the new people I meet along the way — runners, volunteers, and supporters who share the same drive, passion, and heart. Every conversation, every smile, every high-five adds to the story.

Huge thank you to the NYPD for giving me the opportunity to represent and run alongside them this year — an experience I’ll never forget.
New York, you’ll always have my heart. 💙🏙️🗽
