Running for a Cause: Sommers Schwartz Supports Imerman Angels at the 2026 NYC Marathon
On November 1, 2026, I had the opportunity to run the TCS New York City Marathon while raising funds and awareness for Imerman Angels, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, one-on-one support to individuals impacted by cancer.
Imerman Angels connects individuals facing cancer, survivors, previvors, and caregivers with mentors who have experienced similar journeys. Through these connections, the organization helps ensure that no one has to face cancer alone.
I chose to support Imerman Angels because I believe in the work they do and the importance of ensuring that individuals and families facing cancer have someone to turn to who truly understands what they are going through. Training for and completing a marathon is a significant commitment, but knowing I was running for an organization making a meaningful difference in people’s lives made the experience even more rewarding.
Throughout the training process, I was reminded that the miles were about more than reaching the finish line. They were also an opportunity to raise awareness and support for individuals and families navigating some of life’s most difficult challenges.
I was especially grateful for the support of my colleagues at Sommers Schwartz, who contributed to my fundraising efforts and helped support Imerman Angels’ mission. Their generosity was another reminder of the firm’s commitment to giving back to the community and supporting causes that matter to its employees.
Crossing the finish line in New York City was an unforgettable experience, and I am proud to have used this opportunity to support such a worthwhile organization. Thank you to everyone who donated, encouraged me throughout training, and helped make the experience possible. To learn more about Imerman Angels and its mission, visit www.imermanangels.org.
