Ashkelon 2025

As a teen, I was always big into chesed and jogging.  I love working with special needs individuals because it’s a chesed where everyone benefits.  When I came to Israel to study in Yeshiva, I heard about an opportunity that infuses my two great passions… leading me to join Team Yachad in the Jerusalem Marathon. What I loved most about this race was that I ran with excitement and commitment as i succeeded in raising money for such a great organization.  With much effort, I managed to raise $1,019 even after setting my goal at just $500.  I ran faster than ever and I know it was because I was running for a great cause. I hope to continue working with the special needs population and continuing to help in any way that i can to ensure that these participants are able to have the best time of their lives while on Yachad’s inclusive programs.  I can’t wait to run again with Team Yachad in Jerusalem 2013.  Next year I’m taking my goals higher!
