ABOUT HAYDEN

I am so excited to run the 2026 NYC Marathon on behalf of Therapists Beyond Borders.

Running a marathon is a lifelong goal of mine, and I could not ask for a better partner. I worked through major voice challenges for nearly 2 years in my early teens where I could barely speak above a whisper. I was fortunate to receive the guidance and support necessary to overcome it through speech therapy, and it is important to me that people with voice or other developmental challenges have the same support. Therapists Beyond Borders does exactly that, ensuring individuals around the world have access to sustainable care in their communities.

Every donation is so appreciated and no amount is too small. I look forward to running this race with all of you in November. Thank you!!
Love,
Hayden

Also, I would love to run with any of you anytime! + follow me on Strava to see how it’s going

ABOUT THERAPISTS BEYOND BORDERS

Therapists Beyond Borders is an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower individuals with disabilities around the world through community-based training programs related to physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

Disability legislation and rehabilitation programs are commonly under-resourced around the world. As a result, millions of people who require therapy do not receive adequate treatment. Our goal: extend education surrounding disability and provide therapeutic skills training to individuals with disabilities, families, caregivers, and local therapists in countries with underfunded healthcare systems.

Our focus is to foster self-sustaining, locally run therapy programs that build community capacity to provide skillful care for their most vulnerable members. Our vision is a world where individuals of all abilities can reach their own unique potential, and where all communities, despite the unequal distribution of global resources, still have the capacity to care for their own.
