Dear Family and Friends:
I am writing you to ask for your help and support! I have taken on a personal challenge as part of my Bat Mitzvah project and want to make it not just a success for me, but a success that helps others.
I have decided to run a 10k, something I have been working hard to achieve, and would like to raise money to support Stand Among Friends, a charity that is very important to myself and my family.
Many years ago, my mother’s best friend suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident. Most of you that know us, also know of our long time family friends the Friedkins. After Shawn’s accident, he and Lisa, with the help of my mom, formed a foundation called Stand Among Friends (SAF).
SAF is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization that promotes opportunities for people with neurological disabilities to live a life without limits and experience the highest degree of independence and success in their communities. SAF provides service and support through its comprehensive Web site, television programming, video resources and through the development of models and research design to improve quality of life daily.
I am asking each of you to support me by sponsoring each mile that I run. Whatever you can do would be greatly appreciated! I know that together we can help support SAF’s goal of improving the quality of life of individuals with neurological disorders. I will run my hardest and thank you in advance for your contribution to this very worthy and special cause.
