Lindsey Lamchick's Fundraiser

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

Recently, I had the honor of serving as Event Chair for Sharsheret’s Southeast Benefit, How Do You Wear Your Genes? recognizing Dr. Starr Mautner with the Maimonides Award.

Dr. Mautner went above and beyond as my surgeon and as a person. She performed two lifesaving surgeries, and throughout my journey showed up with extraordinary kindness, strength, and presence. I love her for saving my life, and I love her for the friend she has become.

After my surgeries and once I regained my strength, last February we ran a half marathon together, crossing the finish line holding hands. That race represented survival, healing and what can happen when you don’t walk this journey alone. I ran as part of Sharsheret’s team, raising funds for an organization whose mission had become deeply personal to me.

That experience cemented why Sharsheret matters so much. Sharsheret means “chain” in Hebrew, and exists to ensure that no one has to face cancer alone. Sharsheret has been a part of my journey from the beginning. Their support, resources, and community have helped me and so many others feel less alone in one of the hardest chapters of our lives. By running and fundraising, I hope to pay that support forward.

Next month, I will be running the 2026 Life Time Miami Marathon (26.2 miles) as a proud member of Team Sharsheret.

Running a full marathon has been on my bucket list since 2010, and is something I once wasn’t sure my body could handle after cancer. Every mile is a reminder of how far I’ve come. I’m running for those newly diagnosed, those in treatment, those waiting for answers, and those who need to feel less alone.

Your support through donating, sharing this page, encouragement, or simply cheering me on, you become part of that chain. means more than words can say. Every step I take in this race is a step with purpose, with gratitude, and with hope. Together, we’re helping ensure no woman has to face this alone.

If you are able, I would be honored if you’d consider supporting my 26.2-mile run and helping Sharsheret continue its lifesaving work. Every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. It means more than I words can say. 💙

With love, strength, and so much appreciation,

Lindsey
