The Kyle Pease Foundation Champions Inclusion By Returning to the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon
The Kyle Pease Foundation (KPF), a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities through sports and beyond, is proud to announce its participation, through the support of KPF long-time partner, Silverton Mortgage, in the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon, one of the most prestigious endurance events in the world.
This year, KPF Athlete Naomi Hicks and Teammate Deanna Anderson have been selected as a push-assist duo team, representing the power of inclusion and teamwork on the race course. Alongside them, KPF Ambassadors Kim Spence, Tara Eagle, and Ed Moak will also compete in the marathon, carrying the foundation’s mission of breaking barriers and creating opportunities for athletes of all abilities.
“The New York City Marathon is an incredible stage for showcasing inclusion,” said Brent Pease, Executive Director of The Kyle Pease Foundation. “Naomi, Deanna, Kim, Ed, and Tara are not just running for themselves — they’re running for every athlete who dreams of equal opportunity in sport.”
Through these efforts, The Kyle Pease Foundation continues its mission of advancing inclusion in endurance sports while inspiring others to join in building a more accessible and unified community.
About The Kyle Pease Foundation
Founded in 2011, The Kyle Pease Foundation is on a mission to change the national narrative and shed light on the challenges of individuals with disabilities in the workforce and across society through sports and groundbreaking initiatives like its Inclusive Employment Program. The 501(c)3 non-profit is breaking down barriers, serving as a blueprint for how companies can and should empower people with disabilities, while removing burdens and enabling meaningful work.
The Foundation’s proactive fundraising supports direct assistance for its constituents, medical or adaptive sports equipment, scholarships and contributions to organizations that provide similar assistance to disabled persons. Serving as an inspiration, Brent and Kyle Pease made history as the first push-assisted brother duo to complete the IRONMAN World Championship in 2018, and have since competed in more than 150 competitive racing events to continue advocating for a more inclusive world.
