Support Team Culture for One

I'm so honored to be running the TCS New York City Marathon on behalf of Moutonière in support of Culture for One, a nonprofit that brings the power of the arts to NYC children in foster care.

I'm the co-founder of Moutonière, a brand built on collaboration with artists and artisans — the people who spend their lives perfecting a craft, whether that's a screen printer in Como or a painter reinterpreting one of our fabrics into something entirely new. Every collection we make is a reminder to me of how much beauty and meaning comes from giving artists room to create, and how much richer the world is when that work is shared rather than kept behind closed doors.

That belief is exactly why Culture for One's mission means so much to me. I think about how early exposure to art shapes a person — how a single class, a museum visit, a chance to make something with your hands can open up a sense of who you are and who you could become. Every child deserves that kind of access: to feel empowered, to feel seen, and to know that creativity is theirs to claim. In a world that can make children feel small or overlooked, the arts offer something rare — a space to be fully themselves.

Through Cultural Excursions, Arts Scholarships, and Creative Arts Workshops, Culture for One gives youth in foster care exactly that kind of space, helping them build resilience, forge real connections, and imagine futures full of possibility. In 2025 alone, more than 3,000 youth took part in these programs.

My goal is to raise $10,000 by race day in support of Culture for One. Will you support this cause with me by making a donation?

A quick note: this spot opened up for me only about 9 weeks before race day, so I've got a lot of training ahead in a short window! You can follow along on my running journey on Strava.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
