Welcome to My Marathon Sponsor Page!
This April, I’m lacing up my running shoes for a cause bigger than myself: Shalva, a place where love, care, and hope shine brighter than ever—even in the darkest times.
Why am I running the Jerusalem Marathon, one of the hardest in the world?
Because every mile I run is for those who can't, including the 101 hostages who represent not just a number but lives, stories, and futures that need our support.
Shalva’s Mission
For over 30 years, Shalva has transformed lives, supporting individuals with disabilities and their families with therapies, education, social programs, and more—all with open arms, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or financial circumstances.
When war struck Israel, Shalva rose to the challenge:
- They opened their doors as a National Crisis Response Center, offering safety and emotional support to over 200 families from the South.
- They gave shelter to 100 teenage girls whose kibbutz was destroyed, ensuring they had a safe space to heal.
- They cared for evacuated children, creating a haven in the chaos.
And through it all, Shalva’s unwavering support for 1,000 children with disabilities—including the 101 hostages—remains at the heart of their mission.
Why Your Support Matters
I’m running for those who can’t: for the hostages whose families cling to hope, for children with disabilities who deserve every chance at a bright future, and for families finding solace in Shalva’s warm embrace.
Together, we can make a difference. Every donation you make goes directly to Shalva, funding life-changing programs and critical crisis response efforts. If your company matches donations, let me know—we can double the impact!
Let’s Do This Together
This isn’t just about me crossing a finish line. It’s about all of us standing together for Shalva. For the 101 hostages, for the families displaced by war, for the children who find strength and belonging in Shalva’s care.
Every step is for hope. Every donation is for a life. Let’s run this race together.
Thank you for believing in this mission and for your generosity!
