Dear Friends and Family ,
I am so so so excited to share with you that I am an official member of Team Sharsheret for the 2025 TCS NYC Marathon .
I have already began to train for my race, and am inspired to undertake this rigorous challenge as I am doing it in support of Sharsheret , a national not-for-profit organization supporting women and families, at high risk and those facing breast and ovarian cancer at every stage-before, during, and after diagnosis.
It is particularly meaningful for me to race on behalf of Sharsheret because of the support they have provided for me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago. Sharsheret was the only organization that provided the vital culturally relevant support that I was desperately seeking. At the time, I was divorced and had 4 young children at home ranging in ages from 6 - 14 years old. They helped me in so many ways throughout my journey such as giving me guidance on how I should approach the task of telling my kids to sending me a box of activities that will keep my kids busy while I recover from surgery and going through treatment. As I continually hear about the wonderful resource Sharsheret is for many friends and thousands of others locally and nationally, 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 cancer and ovarian cancer programs and services. I am asking you to please support me in my athletic and fundraising efforts as I take on this challenge, ask for corporate matching for your gift too! All contributions are tax-deductible.
Thank you all so much, in advance, for your support!
“You got this!”
