In 2024, I will kick-off my 50th year doing something meaningful: climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the largest free-standing mountain in the world (5,895 meters!) - and one of the most challenging.
Why am I doing it?For Shalva, the Israel Association for the Care and Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities.
From infancy through adulthood, Shalva provides transformative care to 2,000 individuals with disabilities and their families, with leading-edge therapies, inclusive educational frameworks, social and recreational activities, employment training, independent living, and respite programs - regardless of religion, ethnicity, or financial capacity.I am participating in this once-in-a-lifetime challenge to help Shalva's families continue to conquer their personal mountains on a daily basis.
But, I need your help.
I'll take on the training, and all the aches and pains that come with 8 days of trekking and sleeping in a tent (sometimes in sub-zero temperatures), if you'll donate to this worthy cause. All contributions (USD/UK/CAD/ILS) are tax-deductible. Any amount you give will help me reach my goal.
Join me in supporting Shalva and the critical work they are doing with thousands of children and their families.
Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
