This is my first ever marathon and its a personal challenge for me, but I’m not in this for the glory. I’m doing it for something way more important: to raise awareness and critical funds for Chai Lifeline, a wonderful organization dedicated to helping children and their families. Chai lifeline helped me and my family so much, I'm a camper in camp simcha special and seeing everything they do From making sure everyone is safe, to making sure everyone has the most memorable experience. Is just incredible and there are no words that can describe what chai lifeline does for us. I have been going to camp simcha special for almost nine years, each year has been incredible by making new friends, amazing memories, going out of my comfort zone and doing everything I thought was impossible. Camp simcha has taught me just be yourself and to not be ashamed for who you are. Camp is a place where I don't feel judged or left out, and only the person I am! Camp simcha is literally my second home, and I want to take this opportunity by raising money for this incredible organization. Your not only helping me, your helping every camper and every person in chai lifeline and camp simcha! Your donation is going to a new camper who can experience this incredible place, and connect with other people who are going through the same challanges as them or similar! Chai lifeline and camp simcha has been a big part of my life and I am so greateful to everyone I have met. each person I've met so far has inspired me to not give up! I am extremely excited to be doing the half Miami marathon of 2024!! To make this possible for me, it will mean so much if you donate and share my link!

Throughout the year, Chai Lifeline provides emotional, social, and financial assistance to more than 5,900 children and their families. Whether it’s counseling, case management, crisis and trauma intervention, meals delivered to hospitals and homes, transportation to medical appointments, insurance advocacy, i-Shine afterschool programming, Big Brothers and Sisters, or its medically-supervised Simcha summer camps, Chai Lifeline’s innovative services help families navigate the complexities of childhood illness and restore joy and happiness.

Training is not easy, but neither is dealing with illness. If the children of Chai Lifeline can fight each day, if they can push themselves through hospital stays and treatments, I can do this for them. But I can't do this without your support. I need your help to raise as much money as possible for these kids. I’ve set a challenging goal for myself to raise $12,500 in support of Chai Lifeline. Your generous donation will help me move closer to my goal and make a difference in the lives of so many children. Let's do this together!
