Running for a Good Cause
UMass Hillel House
As many of you know, I ran the 2011 ING New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 6th. That was my first marathon and it was so amazing to feel the full energy of New York push me along the streets of NYC.
The race was not only a test for myself, but also an opportunity to raise money for an organization very dear to me. As a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, the Hillel House on campus was a source of education and community for me, along with thousands of other students over the years. Through the UMass Hillel House I was able to travel to Israel for free, eat countless Shabbat meals and even get a job!
Rabbi Saul Perlmutter and his staff do an amazing job of creating an open and active atmosphere not only for Jewish students, but for the whole campus. For these reasons, along with many others, I dedicated my marathon experience to raise money for UMass Hillel.
This year I have the opportunity to run in the 2012 NYC Marathon, and once again I'm honored to dedicate the run to UMass Hillel. Please help me reach my goal of raising $500 by donating money directly to:
