Dear family and friends,

Last Passover, my family and I were lucky to visit Israel. As you know, we LOVE sports!!! My brother shared about the Israel ParaSport Center at his bar mitzvah. Since we were in Israel, we went to visit the Center which is located outside of Tel Aviv. It was awesome! We saw so many athletes- swimmers, tennis players, and even met a ping pong Paralympic International champion who is now an amazing teacher at the Center--she even gave Noah a ping pong lesson!

When we visited, the basketball games were over for the day, but the Center invited us to see a rugby game. They explained that athletes use a completely different wheelchair to play rugby than basketball! We watched the players- it was an intense game!! However, while the athletes were playing, the tires kept coming off pausing their rugby game! I decided right then that for my bat-mitzvah, I wanted to raise money for more tires for all of the sports wheelchairs at the Center so that every athlete can enjoy playing their favorite sport!!!

Please help me re-tire!!! And, join me to support the Israel ParaSport Center!!

Thank you so much!

Warmly

Hannah Cohen
