Talia Runs Chicago Marathon 2024

Dear Friends and Family,

I am so excited to share with you that I am an official member of Team Sharsheret for the 2024 Chicago Marathon.

I have already begun to train for my race, and I am inspired and excited to run my second marathon 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.

On a personal note, my family has been deeply affected by breast and ovarian cancer, and many of my family members, including my mom, are BRCA+. This mutation greatly increases the risk of cancer diagnosis, and it has greatly impacted my family for many generations. I am thrilled to be raising money for an organization that supports families like ours.

In 2004, my mom and aunt ran the Chicago Marathon, so I am so excited to be running the race 20 years later with my cousin Macy in honor of our moms, who will be cheering us on! 

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.

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