Hi Friends! Thank you for supporting me on this exciting opportunity to raise funds for an incredible organization, as well as push myself physically and mentally on The Friendship Circle Glacier Hike.

The Friendship Circle exists to bring happiness and companionship to children and young adults with special needs, by celebrating their individuality, as well as bringing energy, support, and peace of mind to their families. Friendship Circle chapters in local communities create meaningful relationships and friendships between teen volunteers and children with special needs, increasing confidence, igniting dreams, and redefining worldviews for both parties.

As a longtime teacher, and someone who believes every single child deserves the chance and environment to learn and grow on whatever level they are capable of The Friendship circle has a special place in my heart. They give children with special needs the opportunity to create meaningful relationships and enjoy their lives to the fullest of their abilities. This cause is very dear to me, and I'll appreciate all the support I can get! Together we can raise funds, and make a difference in the lives of these very special children and families.

Tizku L'Mitzvot!
