Yitz Mendlowitz's Fundraiser

On November 1st I’m running the NYC Marathon with Team Sharsheret.

Honestly, I would not be doing this if it wasn’t for my son-in-law Ami. He’s the one who convinced me to do it again. We’re both running, we’re training together, and we each have committed to raising on behalf of Sharsheret. He has his own page too, so if you want to support him as well I’ll send you the link.

It is particularly meaningful for me to race on behalf of Sharsheret because of the support they have provided for friends and family 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. 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 and ask your employer if they will match your gift!

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