I'm running the Jerusalem Marathon this year to raise money to fight ALS. OK, I'm also running because my "friend" talked me into it. As long as I'm suffering, I'm hoping you'll help me make it worthwhile.

My friend,Hindy, is runnning this fundraising campaign now for the second year in a row. Last year, it was started to raise money for research into a cure for ALS, the disease that killed her mother. Since last year, her sister, Devorah, has also been diagnosed with ALS. 

Devorah's body has begun to degenerate, and tasks that you and I take for granted are now insurmountable challenges for her.  Devorah struggles with everyday functions and is facing a terrible disease, yet she still manages to inspire countless people and make them laugh. You can see how she does that by reading her blog at:

I invite you to read Hindy's message at the root of thsi canmpaign.
