Three years ago, I could barely run around the block without losing my breath. Couch to 5k was an accomplishment. My first 10k felt like I had reached the stars. A half-marathon wasn't in the cards, but then came the Jerusalem half in March 2024. The lesson learned was to never say never, which is how I got here today, in complete disbelief to be training for the NYC Marathon.
I will be proudly running with Team ICRF in the TCS New York City Marathon to raise money for groundbreaking cancer research conducted by the best and brightest scientists at institutions throughout Israel. My personal fundraising goal is $4,000, and I hope I can count on you to join me in supporting this lifesaving mission. To date, the Israel Cancer Research Fund has funded over 2,800 grants totaling more than $93 million to scientists at leading Israeli institutions. In the current funding year, ICRF is supporting 83 cancer research projects, making it the largest nongovernmental funder of cancer research in Israel.Research is the cornerstone of ICRF’s quest to end the suffering caused by cancer. By supporting ICRF today, your gift will enable ICRF-funded scientists to find tomorrow’s cures. Thank you for your generosity and support of Team ICRF. The answer to cancer is research!
