Help Holocaust Survivors in Need – NYC Marathon for The Blue Card

New York City has one of the largest populations of Holocaust survivors in the world, yet more than one-third live below the poverty line, struggling to afford essentials like medical care, food, and housing.

This Fall I am running the 2025 New York City Marathon to raise funds for an incredible charity: The Blue Card. The Blue Card is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting New York based Holocaust survivors facing financial hardship. Since 1939, The Blue Card has provided critical assistance, including emergency financial relief, medical and dental care, mental health support, rent aid, and programs to combat loneliness.

Many survivors endured unimaginable horrors in their youth—now, in their final years, they shouldn’t have to choose between buying food and filling a prescription. Your donation will help The Blue Card provide the following:

• Emergency financial aid for rent, utilities, and food
• Medical and dental care not covered by insurance
• Assistance for life-saving medications
• Mental health services tailored to survivors’ needs
• Programs to combat isolation, including birthday gifts, social outings, and companion pets

Every step I take in this marathon is dedicated to ensuring those who suffered and survived humanity’s most evil moment live out the remainder of their lives with dignity.

With your help I can make a difference – every dollar counts.
