My name is Jordyn Spitz and my mom is a breast cancer survivor. I learned about Sharsheret recently from my temple in Skokie, IL as part of our Pink and Teal Shabbat service. I wish I knew about this organization when my mom was diagnosed. From what I’ve learned since, I chose this project because I want to pay it forward to other kids who are dealing with similar feelings and circumstances that I once had.
I’m a 7th grader at my junior high in Lincolnwood, IL. I’m a pitcher on my travel softball team, I play viola in the school orchestra, I sing in the choir, and I love musical theater.
