Brandon Golden, NYC Marathon FAM+ Charity Team Member

Hey there friend! I’m guessing you found your way here because you saw me running around NYC. I’m thrilled to be training for my first marathon with FAM+... and I’ll be doing it in a Vita Coco suit!

FAM+ breaks barriers for moms through the lens of sport, and I’m fundraising for their programs through my training.

When I was a kid, my mom forced me to run with her. I complained every step of the way, but those long runs turned into long conversations, and they’ve shaped who I am. Running became our thing, and now it’s part of me.

That’s why supporting FAM+’s mission to eliminate the motherhood penalty means so much. No one should have to choose between their health, career, or ambition and being a parent. Let’s run toward a future that supports working moms.

Support Brandon’s marathon journey and FAM+’s mission by donating - and get 40% off a case of Vita Coco with each donation!

Fine print: Limited to one case of Vita Coco per donor. Donations must exceed x$ to be deemed eligible. Donors to Brandon’s NYC Marathon fundraising effort will receive a unique discount code on Nov. 3, valid through the end of 2025.
