BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A Binghamton woman is raising money for veterans as she trains for New York's greatest race.
Stephanie Olson has been a lifelong athlete, playing soccer since she was five years old.
When Olson started attending Binghamton University, she fell in love with running. Now, she's training for the 2025 New York City marathon.
Olson started preparing for the race six months age.
Throughout her training, she is raising money for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation which provides financial help to veterans and first responders.
Olson's father is a disabled veteran who served in Desert Storm and her cousin was a firefighter in 9/11. She says a hero is someone who does what they can and it's important to recognize their efforts.
'I think it's important to memorialize these people and support the people who are still alive because they need as much support as they can get. I really appreciate all of the things that people like the military and first responders do for people,' said Olson.
Olson has a goal of raising $5,000 for the charity.
