As Aunt Malka to Juliette, I know the close personal connection her family has with Chai Lifeline. From soon after Juliette's birth Chai Lifeline has been a support to the entire family be it meals, helping with specialist appointments, offering a place to stay, and providing them with moments of relaxation & celebration. Not only have I seen what Chai Lifeline as an organization has done for Juliette & her family I also saw the support & care that they offer to all families while my nephew Eitan had Leukemia. volunteers would show up at the hospital to offer a break, food was sent whenever needed, and each of my nieces received packages of goodies along with their brother because it wasn't only him affected by his Leukemia, it was the entire family. Thankfully, today Eitan is a thriving nearly 9 year old who's cancer is a distant memory. Knowing we could call Chai Lifeline when we needed was one less worry for our entire family, I know Juliette's family feels the same way. Being a part of Team Juliette is a privilege and opportunity to help support and give back to such a wonderful organization that has supported those I love when they've needed it. 

Every mile I run/ride and every dollar that I raise will help support critical programs and services for more than 6,000 families impacted by illness, crisis, and loss. These services include counseling and case management, meals delivered to hospitals and homes, transportation to medical appointments, emergency financial assistance, insurance advocacy, i-Shine afterschool programming, Big Brothers/Sisters, crisis and trauma intervention, and Chai Lifeline’s flagship medically-supervised summer programs, Camp Simcha, Camp Simcha Special, and Camp Simcha Without Borders.

I’ve committed to raising $1,800 for this important cause and I hope I can count on you to help me reach my goal. All donations are 100% tax-deductible. 

Life for a child with cancer, disability, or other serious illness is grueling.
