2025 Steps for Life South Florida 5k | Gift of Life
Jan 26, 2025
Welcome to Team Running for Rabbi Dan.
I wasn't going to form a team this year. The pain of losing my mom three months ago and thus, my entire nuclear family, is so great. There are days when, just putting one foot in front of the other is a monumental task. I am proud of the funds and awareness we have raised in years past, and thought, perhaps I'd sit this one out.
Until, one by one, friends and family started asking me for the link to sign up. Family members plan to come in from out of town. Friends have already marked the date on their calendars. One friend shared with me that her daughter has been training to improve her race time. Another said, “they would want you to do it.”
So, here I am, ready to support this year's Steps for Life 5k, knowing that the funds we raise will help add new donors to the registry and improve the chances that lives will be saved. Knowing that, we can bring health and hope to others who are in the fight for their lives, for whom extra time together means everything. I know too well how much that extra time means.

I've been on the receiving end of more kindness and support than I could have imagined, and I thank you now for your continued love.
Looking forward to celebrating, racing and remembering Mom, Dad and Dan together on January 26!
