Hi!!

This year I am going to be running in the Miami Marathon (year 4!) in memory of two truly incredible people, Adeena Paknoush Z’’l, and my father, Ebby Shaoolian Z”L. I am running for Chai Lifeline, a wonderful organization dedicated to helping very sick children and their families and I would really appreciate everybody’s help to reach my goal!

I truly believe that both of these beautiful souls came into this world for similar missions: to teach us all the importance of kindness and how to really care about the wellbeing of those around us So, in their zechut, I have decided to run in the Miami Marathon for Chai Lifeline: Team Adeena. May all of everybody's support in completing our mission done in their honor help his neshamot have an aliyah.

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 $7,500 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 sick children. Let's do this together! 

Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you for your support!
Sandy
