Rabbi Ari Kaiman

Dear Friends and Family,

I am so excited to share with you that I am an official member of Team Sharsheret for the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon .

I have already begun 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 friends who were touched by breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Sharsheret was the only organization that provided the vital culturally relevant support they were desperately seeking.

Each year at Shearith Israel, I am inspired to see Pies for Prevention support this cause. While I enjoy eating pie, I've found a way to support this organization and create the fitness needed to support as much pie eating as I'd like.

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. All contributions are tax-deductible and ask your employer if they will match your gift!  

Thank you all so much, in advance, for your support!  

With gratitude,

Ari Kaiman
