Dear Family and Friends,
As I contemplated my upcoming “big” birthday, I wanted to take on a big challenge, and at the same time, give back by helping an organization that is meaningful to me. I decided to run the 2021 New York City Marathon as a member of Team Sharsheret.
I was first introduced to Sharsheret about 5 years ago and have proudly served on its Illinois Community Advisory Council since 2018. Sharsheret is a special organization, a national not-for-profit with a mission to improve the lives of women and families, at high risk and those facing breast and ovarian cancer at every stage- before, during, and after diagnosis - through personalized support.
After seeing family members and too many friends touched by breast and ovarian cancer, I was honored to help Sharsheret expand its presence in the Midwest and now to help raise funds to continue its important mission.
Some examples of Sharsheret’s support include:
· Confidential support and information to empower women and families to better understand individual circumstances, make informed decisions about treatment, and receive specialized support.
· A Peer Support Network that connects women newly diagnosed or at high risk of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer one-on-one with others who share similar diagnoses and experiences.
· Educating college students and young adults about genetics and the impact of breast cancer and ovarian cancer, through awareness, education, and leadership initiatives that are age-appropriate for middle school, high school, and college students, and for young professionals.
As a member of Team Sharsheret, 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, if your employer, like mine, offers matching gifts, I encourage you to apply for a match. If you have questions about how to do that, please let me know and I can help with the process.
I have already begun to train for my race, and am excited to tackle the 26.2 miles, and at the same time, support such a worthy cause.
Thank you all so much, in advance, for your support!
Best regards,
Sari Winick
