POTS its very excited to cheer for our incredible runners, who are soon to complete the NYC Marathon.
Check out some of their messages and inspiration to take on this challenging goal!
I’m proud to be running my first-ever TCS New York City Marathon in 2026 with Team POTS (Part of the Solution), an organization that means a great deal to me. Over the past few years volunteering with POTS, I’ve seen firsthand the meaningful impact they make supporting individuals and families across the Bronx through meals, housing assistance, medical care, job training, and other essential services. Running this marathon is both a personal challenge and an opportunity to help raise awareness for a mission I deeply believe in. I’m honored to support an organization dedicated to creating opportunity, stability, and hope within the community.

I am thrilled to be running the 2026 New York City Marathon in support of Part of the Solution (POTS). Over the past several years, I have seen firsthand how POTS serves members of the Bronx community facing adversity with incredible compassion and dignity. Not only does POTS provide support by providing services such as warm meals, groceries and hot showers, but it also helps create lasting change for individuals and families by offering legal services, housing assistance, mental health support, job training, and more.
I am continually inspired by POTS’s mission and the difference they make every day in a community so close to home. After completing the marathon in 2024, I am excited to return this year and once again run alongside my fellow Junior Board members in support of an organization that is making a meaningful difference in the lives of so many New Yorkers.

I am grateful for the opportunity to run the NYC Marathon and honored to do so while supporting Part of the Solution (POTS). The NYC Marathon is an incredible event that brings together millions of people (both participants and those watching) and advances
many worthy causes. I know running through the Bronx during the marathon will be extra special because of the extensive services POTS provides to the communities there. Good luck to all participating, and thank you to all who are donating!

Running the New York City Marathon has always been a dream of mine, and being able to do it while supporting POTS makes it even more meaningful. As I train for my second marathon, I'm proud to raise funds for an organization that helps New Yorkers facing hunger and homelessness. Running has taught me to push my limits and share the journey with others, and I hope this inspires more people to take on challenges and support causes they believe in.

I am so grateful to be running on the POTS team! This marathon weekend marks 4 years in NYC, and in honor of that, I am hoping to give back to an organization that provides vital services to the people of the city I love so much.
