As I approach my Bat Mitzvah year, I am learning what it means to be a good person that can make a difference in the world. 
 

On Sunday December 8th, together with my Bat Mitzvah club, I will be running Jump for Chai to benefit the children of Chai Lifeline Canada.  I am really excited to be planning and running this 'children helping children' event where I will be able to choose how the money I raise will be used to benefit a child or family.
 

When a child is born or diagnosed with a serious illness, the entire family is affected. Families literally can be torn apart as one parent moves into the hospital to be with the sick child. Siblings, already worried about a brother's, sister's or parent's health, suffer greatly when their daily routines are disrupted. Chai Lifeline Canada steps in, offering whatever is needed, bringing light, laughter and happiness into the darkest times. 
 

I am honoured to help raise awareness and funds for Chai Lifeline Canada. This organization does incredible work and provides support to children who are battling serious illnesses. I am very fortunate that I will be able to choose how a family will benefit from the funds I raise. 

In helping me reach my fundraising goals, you are also helping to support the Chai Warriors and their families.
 

XOXO Emily
