Dear Friends and Family,

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be running the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half as part of Team Sharsheret. This run means so much to me because it’s for my mom who faced breast cancer with such courage. Many of you walked that journey with us, and you know how tough it was. What some may not know is just how much Sharsheret supported her during that time. Their care was personal, thoughtful, and exactly what she needed.

My connection to Sharsheret didn’t end there. While at WashU, I helped establish a program through Sharsheret for students dealing with a parent’s cancer diagnosis, and hearing their stories only deepened my appreciation for Sharsheret’s work and the resources they provide.

I’ve wanted to start running for a long time, but I never had the right motivation, until I realized I could run for Sharsheret. Giving back to the organization that supported my mom made the decision easy. I’m even more excited to be running alongside my sister and cousin, turning this challenge into something so meaningful for our family.

As part of Team Sharsheret, I’ve committed to raising funds so they can continue helping families like ours. If you’re able to donate or request corporate matching, I’d be so grateful. Every contribution makes a difference and is fully tax-deductible.

Thank you all for always supporting me, my family, and the causes that matter to us. It means so much!
