I'm so excited to be running the NYC Marathon for Team Stewie!

I’m running in support of the Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation, an organization dedicated to preventing childhood drownings through education and access. 100% of the donations I raise will go directly toward drowning prevention initiatives—like providing free or low-cost swim lessons for children who might not otherwise have the opportunity, and training lifeguards to help keep our communities safe.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death for children, but it’s also highly preventable. In fact, children who take swimming lessons are 88% less likely to drown- they make all the difference. 

Every child deserves the chance to be safe and confident around water. Learning to swim isn’t just a skill—it gives families true piece of mind. 

Stewie the Duck has already granted over 250,000 swim lessons for children—help me reach my goal to provide even more kids with this life-saving skill! Thank you so much for your support!
