I’m taking on the challenge of running a marathon to support Chai Lifeline, an organization that does incredible work for seriously ill children and their families. This cause is especially meaningful to me as I run in memory of Sammy A"H, one of the bravest girls I have every known. I knew Sammy since the day she was born. Her smile lit up a room. She was sharp, quick-witted, and funny as anything. And when she laughed at my jokes, it was the best feeling ever.

I am so glad to be taking on this challenge alongside Sammy’s parents, Dvora and Dan, two of my closest friends and two truly incredible people, as they champion this cause in Sammy’s memory. Anyone who knows me knows I am not exactly in marathon shape, so Dan will likely be miles ahead while Dvora will probably walk alongside me to make me feel better. I hope to draw on Sammy’s incredible strength to get across the finish line and help support the amazing work of Chai Lifeline.

My goal is to raise $3,600 to help fund Chai Lifeline’s vital services, including counseling, case management, meal deliveries, financial aid, and medically supervised Simcha summer camps. Please donate generously to support the children and families facing the greatest challenges of their lives.

Thank you for your support!
