This February, I will, G-D willing, be running in the Miami Marathon as part of Team Lifeline to benefit children with cancer, disabilities, and other serious medical conditions. Every dollar I raise and every mile I run will benefit Chai Lifeline, an international children’s health support network that provides critical year-round programs and services to nearly 6,000 families confronting pediatric illness.

Chai Lifeline has played a very special role in my life over the past few years. As a volunteer at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), I saw firsthand the incredible services Chai Lifeline provides to children and their larger families, whether it was the constantly packed kosher pantry, social services, family respite with their army of volunteers, Channukah parties, the promise of Camp Simcha that got kids through a year of grueling treatment, and much, much more.

Please join me on this journey and help support this incredible organization and, by extension, these resilient children who have lit up my life and taught me so much. In particular, all proceeds should be in the zechus (merit) of a continued refuah (healing) for Avraham Tuvya ben Chaya Sarah (pictured above together in CHOP) and for an aliyas neshama for (in memory of) Tzvi Yehoshua ben R' Moshe, who passed away this October just before his fifth birthday.

Thank you for your support!
