Welcome to my marathon sponsor page!
This March, I’ll be running my first-ever marathon as part of Team Shalva in the Jerusalem Marathon!
This marathon has been dubbed one of the hardest in the world, so why on earth are we doing it?
The reason is Shalva.
Shalva has been providing transformative care to individuals with disabilities and their family members in the warmest and most loving environment for over 36 years. From infancy through adulthood, this amazing organization provides leading-edge therapies, inclusive educational frameworks, social and recreational activities, employment training, independent living, and respite programs regardless of religion, ethnic background, or financial capability!
Simply put, Shalva is an incredible place and is open 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. The staff is so loving and kind and goes above and beyond to make the center a home away from home.
As Jews, we’re taught the importance of caring for our bodies and protecting our health. I love that I can challenge myself physically while using that effort to give back to others.
I am doing my part to support this amazing organization and the Shalva National Crisis Response Center by running, and I need your help.
I'll take care of the training, the achy feet, and the finish line if you'll help me by donating to this worthy cause. All contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, and anything you can give would help me reach my goal; together we'll be supporting this truly special place. If your company has a matching gift program, please let me know so I can connect you with Shalva.
I’m proud to be running for an organization that makes such a meaningful difference in so many lives.
Thank you in advance for your help and generosity!
