Batsheva Perelis

This March I will be running as part of Team Shalva in the Jerusalem Marathon!
Shalva is an incredible organization in Israel that provides children with disabilities from birth through adulthood a real home away from home where their social and emotional needs are taken care of with warmth and love. With unparalleled support, Shalva children exceed all boundaries the world has set for them, and shine in ways people never thought possible. Shalva is a truly magical place for these kids.
Two years ago, I ran with Shalva in the Jerusalem marathon, and I witnessed the amazing organization that Shalva is; I visited their gorgeous center in Yerushalayim, and connected with their incredible children. As I ran through the streets of Yerushaliym, I felt proud to represent this incredible organization and passionate to keep on giving.
This past summer, I worked as a Yachad counselor, taking care of children with special needs. I am deeply connected with the special needs community, and am empowered to help an organization that cares for them, especially in Israel.
Last year, Shalva remarkably provided housing for evacuees and welcomed their facilities for evacuees who have children with special needs. Now, more than ever, Shalva needs our help.
I hope you will help me reach this goal by making a donation. Your support is vital to my success in this race and will make such a huge difference in the lives of these wonderful children. I will keep you up to date on my training progress for my run, and of course, I'll let you know how the race goes!
Thank you in advance for your help and generosity!
