My Personal Fundraising Page

Cancer is no longer something I encounter only in textbooks or hospital hallways — it’s personal. This year, my dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive and devastating brain cancer. Nothing prepares you for watching someone you love become a patient. Nothing prepares you for the helplessness — or for how desperately you cling to research, innovation, and the possibility of more time. That is why I am raising money for the Israel Cancer Research Fund (ICRF). ICRF is dedicated to supporting groundbreaking cancer research — the kind of research that leads to earlier diagnoses, better treatments, and real hope for patients and families facing the unimaginable. The advances we rely on in oncology don’t happen by chance. They happen because people choose to invest in science, progress, and life. If you are able to donate, please know this: Your contribution is not just a donation. It is hope. It is time. It is a future where fewer families have to hear the words “there’s nothing more we can do.” I am deeply grateful for any support — whether that’s donating, sharing this post, or keeping my family and all cancer patients in your thoughts. Together, we can make a difference.

Please help me raise critical funds for Israel Cancer Research Fund

ICRF is dedicated to supporting the most promising scientists conducting groundbreaking cancer research in Israel.

Research is at the heart of everything ICRF does, driving progress toward better treatments, improved outcomes, and ultimately, cures. Your gift helps ensure that innovative and deserving cancer research projects receive the funding they need to move forward.

For more than 50 years, ICRF has funded nearly 3,000 research grants, investing over $100 million in cancer research at leading Israeli institutions. In the current funding year, ICRF is supporting 76 cancer research grants, making it the largest nongovernmental funder of cancer research in Israel.

As a member of the ICRF Chicago Visions Young Leadership Board, I am proud to support this mission through initiatives like Revolving Tables, our signature networking event that brings together emerging leaders and established professionals in support of cancer research. Events like this help build awareness, engagement, and critical funding for ICRF’s work.

By supporting my fundraising efforts for ICRF Chicago Visions, you are directly supporting innovative, life-saving cancer research and helping move us closer to a future without cancer.

The answer to cancer is research!
