Dear Friends and Family, 

I’m excited to share that I am officially a member of Team Sharsheret for the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon! 

In 2025, I ran the TCS NYC Marathon with a Jewish charity, and after that experience, I wanted to run more World Majors with organizations that support and uplift the Jewish community. Chicago will be marathon number two, and I’m incredibly proud to be doing it with Sharsheret. 

Given the times we're living in, supporting our community and showing up for one another feels more important than ever. 

Ashkenazi Jewish women are 10x more likely to carry the BRCA gene variant than the general population. Sharsheret continues to meet the growing demand for life-changing and lifesaving services for women and families facing- or at increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Their work is impactful, compassionate, and truly essential.

As part of the team, I’ve committed to raising a minimum of $3,600 USD, and I’m hoping to exceed that goal. If you’re able to support my fundraising efforts in any way, I would be so grateful.

Thank you in advance for your support! 

Rachel
