They raised $13,000 in memory of his baby daughter, Sarina (Sara Ruth Bat Ephraim z”l), who benefited from Chai Lifeline’s services while hospitalized in Minnesota. “They made it a priority to make sure that we were taken care of, in terms of housing, meals, schooling, and much more, while my daughter was hospitalized so far from home,” said Kami Kalaty, 33. He and friends Tony Carmili, 32, of Kings Point; Joshua Kashanian, 28, of Roslyn and Matt Livian 27, of Manhasset, all completed the race, running as Team Sarina.
