Once again, I will be running in the NYC Marathon.  But this year, I will also b e raising money for a great cause.

ALEH is Israel's largest network of facilities for children with severe physical and cognitive disabilities. The work that ALEH does is truly inspirational and it is an honor to be able to run in the 2012 NYC Marathon to raise money for the organization.  ALEH brings hope, meaning and joy to the lives of thousands of children with severe disabilities. I can\'t wait to go 26.2 (or 42.2) on November 4, knowing that I am contributing, in a very small way, to the wonderful work being done by ALEH.

Please join me!  Help ensure that ALEH\'s amazing kids continue to receive the care and support they deserve.

There are many ways that you can join the cause. 

The idea is for this to be a gra ssroots campaign, where people give what they can and spread the word to their friends, family and co-workers.  Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Matt

P.S. ALEH is calling on runners already registered for the New York City Marathon to JOIN \'TEAM ALEH\' and, like me, dedicate their graceful strides to helping Israel\'s severely disabled.

If you want to join the team, please contact Dov Hirth at dov@aleh-israel.org .
