Why I Run for Just One Chesed & Boots for Israel 🇮🇱👟

Welcome to my fundraising page!

I’m taking on the Jerusalem Marathon to support Just One Chesed and Boots for Israel—two missions united by one powerful belief: kindness isn't just something we feel. It's something we DO.

Just One Chesed turns good intentions into real, hands-on action, impacting lives in three incredible ways:

Giving & Volunteering: Creating meaningful opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to make a difference—from building beds and baking challah to packing tactical boots for our Chayalim and serving hot meals.

Innovation & Education: Inspiring the next generation of kindness through educational programs and innovative tools like the JOC App, Kindness Booths, The Kind Store, and Peer Tutoring, making chesed accessible around the world.

Unity & Community: Bringing people together to support families, soldiers, and veterans through direct aid, wellness days, Simcha support, care packages, and essential meals.

Boots for Israel — Saving the Soles of Our Chayalim 👢🇮🇱

Through Just One Chesed's Boots for Israel, we are making a direct, tangible difference in the lives of the brave soldiers who protect Am Yisrael.

Think about what one pair of boots can do.

A soldier who spends endless hours on his feet, navigating difficult terrain, standing guard through freezing nights and exhausting days, deserves boots that protect him.

One pair of boots means less pain, fewer blisters, greater protection, and one less thing for a soldier to worry about.

But these boots represent so much more than footwear.

They tell our soldiers: We see you. We appreciate you. You are not standing alone.

Why I'm Running ❤️

I run because I can.

I run because our soldiers keep going, even when they're exhausted.

I run because I am incredibly proud of our Chayalim, especially my own nieces and nephews who proudly serve in the IDF. I know firsthand that behind every uniform is someone's child, sibling, spouse, or friend.

And I run because I believe that even one person, taking one step, can make an extraordinary difference.

When my legs get tired, I'll think of the soldiers who don't have the luxury of stopping.

When the miles get difficult, I'll remember why I started.

My miles are temporary. Their mission continues every single day.

Every mile I run is an opportunity to turn compassion into action. Every donation helps Just One Chesed continue its incredible work and helps Boots for Israel put much-needed boots on the feet of our heroes.

I'm running the miles so our soldiers can keep taking theirs.

Please join me in turning every step into chesed.

DONATE NOW & STEP UP WITH ME!

One run. One act of chesed. One pair of boots at a time.

Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱
