🏃🏻‍♀️ At this point you all know I'm running the NYC Marathon BUT did you know you can be part of it too? The best part? You can join from anywhere, even your couch! 🛋️

“How?” you ask…for a $5 donation you can use the Rally app to record a short voice message that I'll hear at whichever mile you choose. Your encouragement will be exactly what I need to get me to the finish line! 🗣️

Every message also helps me get closer to my fundraising goal for Pencils of Promise, supporting education for children around the world. ✏️

So whether you want to cheer me on at mile 4, make me laugh at mile 12, drop a fun fact at mile 20, or give me a pep talk at mile 25 - I’d be so grateful to have you with me during the race!! Send me a message to let me know you’ve donated and I’ll send you the Rally link to record your message (I won’t be able to hear it until race day so it’ll be a fun surprise)! ✉️

Donations can be made via Venmo () or through my fundraising link: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/26NYC/EricaCallahan

Last week I heard about teachers sharing their wishlists with Altar’d State’s GiveBack program and finding success with getting the lists cleared. After doing more research I figured they may be able to help with my marathon fundraiser. I decided to reach out and let them know a little bit about Pencils of Promise and why I’m running the NYC marathon with this specific organization! A week later I received this response. I’m so grateful for their help and am another step closer to reaching my fundraising goal!!✨❤️

If you know of any other organizations that make donations to charities please let me know!!

I’ve been on vacation for the past week but still managed to get some short runs in along the boardwalk! 🏖️

June is coming to a close and I’m incredibly close to reaching my goal of $1,000 by the end of the month! I’m $67 shy of that goal with three days left. Can you spare a couple of bucks to help me? Donate at the link above or Venmo with a note for PoP ✏️

✏️ I’m clearly terrible with updates on here BUT I’m so close to raising $1,000 for Pencils of Promise!!

✏️ In order to reach that goal I’m doing a giveaway. When you make a donation of any amount on the bingo board below (or Venmo the money and I will donate on your behalf) you will be entered to win a $75 Amazon Gift Card!

✏️ What’s better than a shopping spree earned by helping others?!

Marine Corps Historic Half was such a fun experience! Crossing the finish line alongside Marines was pretty cool. I went into this race with two goals:

1. Conquer Hospital Hill⛰️
2. Don’t get swept 🏃🏻‍♀️

And both of those were achieved🏅Training for a full marathon is no joke, but I’m so glad I get to do fun races along the way. Donations to my NYC fundraiser can be made at the link above! Any amount helps make a difference 🫶🏼

Looking back at the Alexandria Half Marathon, even though I didn’t hit the exact goal I wanted I still nailed some pretty cool personal bests!!! I think my favorite part of this whole journey has been finding out I’m capable of more than I’ve imagined. I can’t wait to see how the next few months go 🥰🤩🥳
