Celebrity Chef, Richard Blais is getting active for education.

Richard is running the 2017 TCS New York City Marathon to raise awareness about Room to Read on November 5, 2017 alongside several other runners who are raising funds to support Room to Read’s programs.

“As a father of two young girls, I know how critical it is for kids to develop literacy skills and a love of reading at a young age as well as for girls to be supported to choose their own path in life,” said Blais.

“Room to Read brings quality education to millions of children around the world and I am proud to run the 2017 TCS New York City Marathon to raise awareness about their impactful work and support children to take their education over the finish line.”

Richard and Room to Read are taking action to reach thousands of low-income communities around the world, and we want you to join us.
