On March 15th we will have our B'nai mitzvah. As part of this process, wehave chosen a special mitzvah project that is close to our hearts. 

On February 14, 2005, our grandfather suffered a stroke, and just a few days later, on February 18, he passed away at the young age of 53. Though my brother and I never had the chance to meet him, our mom and her family have shared countless stories about the incredible person he was—his kindness, his energy, and his passion for life.

Sports were a huge part of who he was. He loved tennis and racquetball, but as he got older, spin class became his greatest passion. His gym was so deeply impacted by his passing that they honored his memory by naming the cycle room after him.

To continue his legacy and support stroke research and prevention, we are participating in CycleNation on March 25. This event raises funds and awareness to fight strokes and heart disease—causes that now mean so much to us.

We would be so grateful for your support, whether by joining us in the ride or contributing to this important cause. Together, we can make a difference and help prevent strokes for future generations.
