As a Legal Aid alumni, I am both incredibly honored and excited to run the New York City Half Marathon on behalf of the Society's Civil Practice.

Annually, The Legal Aid Society's Civil Practice provides comprehensive individual civil legal assistance that benefits some 120,000 vulnerable New Yorkers in all five boroughs of New York City, including senior citizens, children and adults with disabilities, survivors of domestic violence, immigrants, low-wage or unemployed workers, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and homeless and imminently homeless children and adults. In addition, the Society's law reform representation benefits all two million low-income children and adults in all five boroughs.

Proceeds raised from this fundraising campaign are crucial to enable the Society's front-line staff in all five boroughs to provide essential civil legal aid in the midst of these challenging times for the vulnerable low-income families and individuals we represent.

Thank you for your support!
