The 2018 TCS New York City Marathon is coming up on November 4th. Between now & then, we'll be introducing you to Gladney's charity runners.

Meet Rick, a Gladney Friend

“I am running for Gladney in honor of Benjamin, my nephew who joined our family through adoption, and for the countless orphans of Uganda, some of whom I had an opportunity to meet and serve earlier this year.

What has this experience meant to me? Training for a marathon is long and arduous, but fundraising for Gladney means that every time I lace up my shoes, I’m energized with the knowledge that I’m supporting an organization that for 131 years has been working to reduce the number of waiting kids out there who need families.”

Help the team reach their goals & create bright futures through adoption!
