Prayers From Maria Run
This November, Michael Mayo and I are running the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon to support Prayers From Maria, a foundation dedicated to funding research and bringing hope to children with brain cancer and their families.
Prayers From Maria was founded in memory of Maria McNamara, who was diagnosed with a deadly brain tumor at just six years old. The foundation raises critical funds for under-researched childhood brain cancers and brings awareness through their beautiful Fields of Hope sunflower plantings.
Our goal is to raise $5,000 to help fuel life-saving research and provide hope to families facing the unimaginable. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.
By supporting us, you’re not only helping us cross the finish line — you’re standing with children and families in the fight against brain cancer.
Thank you for cheering us on and supporting this cause that means so much to us. Together, we can run toward hope.
