Running the Miami Half Marathon is about much more than crossing the finish line.

Growing up, I watched my dad complete three New York City Marathons. His dedication, perseverance, and commitment inspired me from a young age, and he planted the seed that one day I wanted to take on a challenge like this myself.

This run is also deeply personal. I am running in memory of my wife's grandfather, Yisrael Chaim ben Moshe Aron, whose life was defined by kindness and giving. He was passionately involved with Chai Lifeline in so many ways, dedicating countless hours and endless energy to helping children and families during their most difficult moments.

It feels especially meaningful to combine this personal goal with supporting an organization that meant so much to him. Every mile I run and every dollar raised is a tribute to his legacy of chesed and a way to help Chai Lifeline continue the incredible work that he cared so deeply about.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting such an extraordinary cause.
