Hi friends and family, I am proud and humbled to be running again with Team Palestine at the 2025 Chicago Marathon, raising funds for Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. This is my fourth year with the team, and bringing collective focus to address the unfolding catastrophe in Gaza has never in our lifetimes been more urgent. Together since 2021, you have helped me raise $4,362 for PCRF. Can you help me to raise funds for Palestinian relief again this year?

You may have seen popular children's music star Ms. Rachel campaigning for PCRF recently alongside Rahaf, one of the many children the organization has provided with life-saving care. The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund was established in 1991 to address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian youth due to ongoing Israeil occupation, blockade and apartheid. PCRF helps thousands of children across the region who are in need of medical attention. Significant funds are needed to continue responding to the horrific conditions on the ground in Gaza as best as possible. 

As an antizionist Jew whose sacred tradition demands that we pursue tzedek, justice, it's never been more important for me to speak up and stand in unwavering solidarity with the worldwide Palestinian community. This is just one small way I am doing just that -- in what has now become an annual ritual as central to my Jewish expression as it is to my commitment to Palestinian liberation.

I hope you will join me, not only by contributing and sharing this fundraiser, but by bearing witness and speaking up for Palestine, and demanding that those in power here in the U.S. work toward an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an arms embargo, and unrestricted aid into Gaza to end the forced starvation of millions. Together, we all get free.

Any amount you can give will be a huge help in this fundraising effort, even just $5 or $10. If giving is not feasable, please share with a friend. Deeply grateful for your support!

*There are many mutual aid funds for Palestine that are worthy of your support as well in addition to PCRF-- please reach out to me directly if you'd like more resources.
