I’m taking on a challenge that’s close to my heart—completing a marathon in support of Chai Lifeline, an incredible organization that provides critical support to thousands of seriously ill children and their families.
Several years ago our family became a Chai Lifeline family. One of our children was dealing with protracted illness and my wife and I spent the better part of the year taking turns in the hospital. So many of our community members stepped up in remarkable ways at that time, and so did Chai Lifeline. Our family was treated to an unforgettable petting zoo in our own backyard, a personal concert, chanukah gifts for our son and the other children at home, a party bus for Purim and the list of generous and thoughtful acts goes on and on!
In an effort to pay the chessed forward I have taken on this challenge to run for Chai Lifeline in Miami this February.

I've set a goal to raise $7,500 to help continue the vital services Chai Lifeline offers, like case management, counseling, meal deliveries, financial aid, their renowned medically-supervised Simcha summer camps, and so much more.

I need your help to make this possible.

Please donate to my campaign today and I hope you will give generously in support of these Chai Lifeline warriors fighting the greatest battle of their lives.

Thank you!
