Hello everyone! Welcome to my fundraising page!

I'm Malina, and I will be running the Jersey City Half Marathon in support of the IgAN Foundation! 

My godmother, Gisela Delgado, who many of you know from the foundation, is an IgAN warrior and one of the coolest and best role models I have ever known. I am so fortunate to have her in my life. Her strength, positivity, and unwavering dedication to helping others inspire me every day, and I strive to carry those same values forward in everything I do. I have also had the opportunity to spend time with many others involved with the foundation, both at SPARK 2025 and Hill Day 2025, and to get to know so many wonderful people. It's a beautiful community that has been growing, and I am lucky to be part of it.

Each and every donation, no matter how small, is one step closer to treatments and hopefully, one day, a cure for IgAN. I would be so grateful for any and all support! 

Thank you!!

Malina :)

We Can for IgAN: Every Step. Every Story. Every Hope.

This year, the IgA Nephropathy Foundation is honored to have been selected as an official charity partner of the Jersey City Marathon

— a recognition that gives our community the incredible opportunity to share our mission on one of the region’s biggest stages.

As Team We Can for IgAN, we’re running, walking, and fundraising to bring visibility to IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) — a rare autoimmune kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure.

For us, every step represents strength, every mile carries a story, and every finish line moves us closer to a cure.

The IgA Nephropathy Foundation is the only nonprofit 100% dedicated to supporting IgAN patients and their families through education,

financial aid, mental health support, and groundbreaking research.

Being part of this marathon isn’t just about running — it’s about standing together, showing what’s possible, and turning awareness into action.

We run for our loved ones. We run for hope. We run because We Can for IgAN.

💙 Join us. Support us. Believe with us.

Donate to our team, become a fundraiser, or simply share our story.

Together, we can do what once felt impossible — and cross the finish line for a future free from IgA Nephropathy.
