Israel is a second home to me, and has a special place in my heart. This past summer, I visited and saw the heartbreaking aftermath of the October 7th attacks. Additionally, I stayed in a hotel that was generously hosting evacuees from the north. It was amazing to witness how the community came together, staying strong through tragedy. I was not aware just how much Israels appreciated the support of people around the world. They thanked me for hearing their stories and sharing them back home. To continue showing my support I will be running the Miami Marathon in February 2025 for Israel! I want to do more than just be an advocate and hope you do too!
