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 Bank of America Chicago 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.
As a member of the AEPhi sorority at Syracuse University, it is particularly meaningful for me to run my first marathon on behalf of Sharsheret, which is one of our national philanthropies, because I strongly believe in their mission to provide culturally relevant support to those touched by breast cancer and ovarian cancer. 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. All contributions are tax-deductible. Please ask for corporate matching for your gift too!
Thank you all so much, in advance, for your support!
