I started training for a 5K with my mother this past summer. When we heard about the NYC Half-Marathon and the opportunity to race with Team Sharsheret we were inspired to set a new goal.  I originally heard about Sharsheret from my sister, Tamar, who was Sharsheret's first Sema Heller intern, and a big Sharsheret fan.

I have always been active and exercised, but never completed a half-marathon!  Racing to support Sharsheret means supporting the women and their families who have fought and are fighting breast cancer and ovarian cancer.  There are 5 sisters in my family, with my mother that makes 12 breasts amongst us!  So raising awareness about breast cancer is significant to me.  Please support me in my running and in my efforts to support Sharsheret, and their programs and services.
