In June 2021, the lacrosse community lost an amazing human, Lilly Kishore. For those who were lucky enough to know her, Lilly was a source of laughter, love, and dedication. She positively impacted every human, animal, and environment she stumbled upon, and one of her greatest strengths was her empathy and ferocious commitment to service. To #livelikelilly is to embody her dedication to the community.

I set out to run the New York City Marathon to honor Lilly, choosing to dedicate my fundraising efforts to One Love.

We will focus intensely on the game and skill development for all levels, but more importantly, we will coach in the spirit of Lilly: with a heavy focus on energetic, positive coaching techniques geared to build confidence and self-esteem.

In conjunction with the clinic, professional parent coach Mary Smith, who has raised athletes and coached youth sports for the last 20 years, will be there to speak to parents and take questions about their role in bolstering their daughter's self-esteem and resilience in order to raise daughters who will ultimately thrive, on and off the field.

With the support of many of Lilly's friends and teammates, this clinic serves as an opportunity to build the women's lacrosse world, bring awareness to the importance of self-esteem in line with One Love's mission, and give back to community--all in remembrance of Lilly Kishore.

Love, Marina
