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](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/new-york-marathon).

Meet Sam, a Gladney Friend

> “I'm running for Gladney because I believe in what the organization is doing for the adoption community. They provide professional and supportive services for adoptive parents, and they also lend a compassionate hand to [expectant mothers making an adoption plan](https://pregnancyhotline.org). Raising money for this organization and keeping up awareness about adoption is what motivates me to run!
> 
> My best friend and running partner, [Jessica, is a Gladney Baby](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/jessica-is-running-for-gladney-tcs-new-york-city-marathon)! What stands out to me about Gladney is how many lives they have touched, even more than I thought before. When I started telling people I am running for Gladney, so many mentioned their connections to Gladney or to adoption in general. I think it’s really cool that through the awareness created because of the race, it gets people talking about adoption.”

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