I always taught my kids that nothing is impossible and that everything is in their reach if they commit. So for me, NYC Marathon is "The impossible," and with your help, I can make it possible.

If you help me reach my campaign goal, the funds go help people with autism and their families AND you will allow me to make my dream come true and get a chance to run the NYC marathon.

=== IMPORTANT NOTE ===

Every dollar I raise will go to benefit the organization for Autism Research - None of the funds will go to me - if I make my goal, I get to buy my ticket.

=== WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT ===

As a context, all my Life, I hated running and even more, didn't like these people who one day "Strat running" and now they love it. But the world has its plan.

A year ago (June 2020), my wife and four kids relocated to Israel (COVID), allowing me to see them only eight days a month...

This was a tough time for me, suddenly all by myself working 16 hours a day I was looking for a way to get me away from the computer and so, at the age of 38, I started running!

This was a year ago, and from not running 2K - I am currently running 30K a week as well completed five half marathons, few longer runs BUT we have one more peak to conquer.
