"You have these life plans at 28 years old that you don't really consider will be altered by a major medical crisis at that age," she remembered.[4] Experiencing first-hand the challenges of young motherhood with cancer, and aware that women of Ashkenazic descent had a higher risk of some cancers, she founded Sharsheret in 2001, for young Jewish women facing cancer.[5] The organization grew to a nationwide organization, with a budget over $2 million per year, and a grant from the Centers for Disease Control to expand its programming. In 2003, Rochelle Shoretz was honored as a "Woman to be Watched" by Jewish Women International.[6] In 2010, Shoretz was appointed to the Federal Advisory Committee on Breast Cancer in Young Women.[7] She was one of the featured profiles in Heroes for my Daughter, a 2012 book by Brad Meltzer.[8] Personal lifeRochelle Shoretz married and divorced twice.

During several years of remission, Shoretz trained for and ran triathlons and traveled widely, to Peru and South Africa and Israel.[9] Rochelle Shoretz died in Teaneck, New Jersey in 2015, age 42, from cancer.[10] References1. ^Idit Klein, "We Remember: Rochelle Shoretz" Jewish Women's Archive. {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Shoretz, Rochelle Lee}}2. ^Sandy Eller, "Rochelle Shoretz: A Life of Inspiration" 5 Towns Jewish Times (June 4, 2015). 3. ^"Rochelle Shoretz, Sharharet Founder and Cancer Advocate, is Dead at 42" Jerusalem Post (June 1, 2015). 4. ^Sydney Lupkin, "Woman Founds Breast Cancer Organization from Waiting Room" ABC News (October 1, 2013). 5. ^Jonathan Zalman, "Remembering Rochelle Shoretz, the Founder of Sharsheret, a Cancer Support Group" Tablet Magazine (June 4, 2015). 6. ^Abigail Klein Leichman, "Strongest 'Link'" Jewish Standard (November 28, 2003): 3. 7. ^Gabrielle Birkner, "Rochelle Shoretz’s Cancer Battle Inspired her Activism" Times of Israel (June 5, 2015). 8. ^Abigail Klein Leichman, "Remembering Rochelle Shoretz" The Jewish Standard (June 2, 2015). 9. ^Elicia Brown, "Maybe I'll Be Able to Dance at a Wedding" The Jewish Week (October 4, 2010). 10. ^Sam Roberts, [https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/03/nyregion/rochelle-shoretz-founder-of-cancer-support-group-dies-at-42.html "Rochelle Shoretz, Founder of Cancer Support Group, Dies at 42,"] New York Times (June 2, 2015). 7 : 1972 births|2015 deaths|American Jews|Barnard College alumni|Columbia Law School alumni|Law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States|American health activists |
