Dear Friends, Family, and Colleagues,

After 17 years of trying, I’m thrilled to finally be running my first marathon on September 22! I couldn’t have done it without the support of Miriam and my family, who have encouraged me every step of the way.

While I’m proud of this personal achievement, it’s nothing compared to the strength and perseverance of the athletes at the Israel ParaSport Center. The Center works with Israelis with physical disabilities, helping them overcome incredible challenges, empowering them to live life without limits, and inspiring many to compete—some at the highest levels through sport rehabilitation, as well as other therapies. To learn more about their incredible work, you can visit www.IsraelParaSport.org.

I’m honored to dedicate my marathon to these remarkable athletes, and I’m asking for your support as I raise funds for The Center. Miriam and I will match the first $1,000 in donations, with a goal of raising $25,000.

If you’d like to support this important cause (and cheer me on!), please click here: Donate to My Mitzvah Project

Thank you for your generosity!

Warm regards,
Evan

P.S. Special hello to old friends I haven’t spoken to in a while—it’s great to reconnect!
