After I completed my first half-marathon in Philadelphia in November of 2010, I didn't think I would ever do it again.  But when I recently heard that Sharsheret had a few spots open in the NYC Half-Marathon, I felt the urge to join.  Sharsheret is a wonderful organization that has helped countless women in their struggle with cancer.  My family and I know so many people who work for the organization and who are connected with it in one way or another, and I am excited to help raise funds for this worthwhile cause while running with a team.  I love following a training schedule and know that any day that starts with a good run is guaranteed to be a better day.

I will carry with me the memory of my maternal grandmother, Elza Rosenbaum, who would have enjoyed the friendship and support of other women as she struggled with cancer
