Hope, Love, and Human Dignity

People ask me why I run? The simple answer is because I can.

What fuels my run? What makes me get up and train for one of the hardest marathon's in the world, at ungodly hours, and in extreme humidity and heat? Why have I become so passionate about it?

It's the hope.

The hope, the love and the dignity that Shalva brings to hundreds of families across Israel.

The running I will do in one day doesn't even compare in any shape, way, or form to the daily obstacles that the children and the families that Shalva services deal with for a lifetime.

Shalva has been providing transformative care to individuals with disabilities and their family members in the warmest and most loving environment for nearly 30 years. From infancy through adulthood, this amazing organization provides leading-edge therapies, inclusive educational frameworks, social and recreational activities, employment training, independent living, respite programs regardless of religion, ethnic background or financial capability!

Shalva is an incredible place and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The staff is so loving and kind and goes above and beyond to make the center a home away from home.

I truly feel privileged to have the opportunity to help make a difference and partner with Shalva to provide hope for so many families, and I invite you to join me. I will do the training and the running, and I ask that you will consider supporting Shalva via my run, and together we can have a big impact.

All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

Thank you in advance for your partnership and generosity.
