James is beyond thrilled to be running the NYC Marathon with the Men Having Babies Team! MHB is an incredible organization providing educational & financial support for gay men to achieve parenthood through surrogacy. As a proud guncle himself, MHB's mission of boosting equitable access to family building is near and dear to James' heart. Your donations will support James through the five boroughs on race day and, more importantly, gay dads on their road to parenthood!
Men Having Babies has been selected as an Official Charity Partner of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon! We have five amazing runners / fundraisers on our team, and we'd love for you to support them both with financial donations and uplifting energy and support as they train and run this marathon in support of our work and mission!

Men Having Babies runners commit to fundraising a minimum of $4,000 for our 501c3 non-profit.
