Running for Shalva — You Are Running With Me
I am proud to be supporting Shalva, an organization that does extraordinary work helping children with disabilities and their families live fuller, more meaningful lives.
For me, this is about much more than running a half marathon. It is about the people who make the run possible — and the children and families who give the run its meaning.
Every donor is important to me. Whether your donation is large or small, I carry your support with me. Your generosity gives me the strength and motivation to keep going when the hills of Jerusalem become difficult.
When I run, I literally bring you with me.
I carry a list containing the name of EVERY person who has donated to my campaign. I keep that list with me throughout the race, as a constant reminder — not just of why I am running, but of who I am representing.
As I run up and down the hills of Jerusalem, I know that I am not running alone. Every name on that list represents someone who chose to help. When the running gets tough, I look at those names and remember that I am carrying all of you with me.
Your donation becomes part of every kilometre I run.
My goal is to raise $36,000 for Shalva, but the true measure of this campaign isn't simply the amount raised. It is the number of people who come together to make a difference in the lives of children and families who need our help.
So whether you are able to give $18, $180, $1,800 — or simply share my campaign with someone else — please know that you are important to me and that I will carry your name with me on the run.
Thank you for giving me the strength to run, for believing in Shalva, and for being part of something that is bigger than any one of us.
I won't be running alone.
I will be running with all of you.
