Tuesday’s Children is a non-profit family service organization that has made a long term commitment to every individual impacted by the events of September 11, 2001 and more recently those who have been impacted by terrorist incidents worldwide.  Since 2001, Tuesday’s Children has promoted healing and recovery by strengthening family resilience, providing individual coping and life management skills and creating community through programs, mental health support and family engagement opportunities.

I could not think of a better way to honor those we lost on 9/11, ten years later, than running for people who are reminded of it every single day.

Some of the special programs Tuesday’s Children provides are:

• 9/11 Family Programs:  Includes mentoring programs, teen programs, career path advice, wellness programs, and “Helping Heals” (an international, domestic and local service program for teens and adults).
• First Responder Alliance:  Serving heroic first responders who may now be exhibiting physical or mental health issues.  It offers stress management, health and wellness programs, nutrition counseling, career planning, family picnics, sporting events, and community services.
• Project COMMON BOND-Brings together teens, ages 15-20, from around the world who share a “common bond”-loss of family member due to a terror attack.

Tuesday’s Children has been selected as a charity partner in the ING New York City Marathon.  I am one of 30 lucky runners who has committed to raising at least $2,500 in support of Tuesday’s Children.  Any donation you can make ($5, $10, $20, $26, $100…more) would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!!!
