Dear Friends and Family, I am so so excited to share with you that I am an official member of Team Sharsheret for the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon!!!

I am inspired to undertake this rigorous challenge as I am doing so in support of Sharsheret, 

a national not-for-profit organization helping those at high risk and those facing breast and ovarian cancer at every stage - before, during and after diagnosis.While Sharsheret's expertise is in young women and Jewish families as related to breast and ovarian cancer, Sharsheret's programs serve all women and men; assisting the jewish community and beyond.

As an alumni of the AEPhi sorority, it is particularly meaningful for me to run my first marathon on behalf of Sharsheret, which is one of our national philanthropies, because I strongly believe in their mission to provide culturally relevant support to those touched by breast and ovarian cancer.As I continually hear about what a wonderful resource Sharsheret is for so many, I wonder how I could do more. How can I make a difference? By taking on this personal challenge and joining with the other members of Team Sharsheret, I have found my answer. 

As a member of this incredible Team, I have pledged to raise funds 

(which I hope to greatly exceed) in support of Sharsheret's breast and ovarian cancer programs and services. 

I am asking you to please support me in my fundraising efforts as I train to run 26.2 miles on October 12, 2025. With the help of your financial contributions and support we are helping change the lives of thousands of Jewish women facing breast and ovarian cancer in our communities for the better.

Thank you all so so much for your love and support!!!

With so much love, appreciation, and gratitude,

Alicia Rodriguez <3
