| 0:00.0 | Today I'm honored to introduce you to Alana Silver, CEO of Sharsharit, a national nonprofit providing personalized support, education, and resources for women and families facing breast or ovarian cancer. |
| 0:12.2 | While it's rooted in the Jewish community, Sharsharit serves anyone who reaches out regardless of background or belief. |
| 0:18.3 | The name Sharsharit means chain in Hebrew, |
| 0:21.8 | symbolizing the powerful connections they build |
| 0:23.7 | between individuals, families, and communities. |
| 0:26.6 | With programs based in the United States and Israel |
| 0:29.0 | while also helping those in Canada and the UK, |
| 0:31.8 | Sharsherit is making a huge difference all over the world. |
