Running for Sderot in the Jerusalem Half Marathon
Dear Runners and Friends,
On March 26th 2009, Team Connections will participate in the 17th Jerusalem Half Marathon with all proceeds going to the families of Sderot.
Many of you have participated last year in our “Team Connections – Running for Sderot” race in the Jerusalem Half Marathon.
It was a wonderful event, a great cause and with your help we managed to raised close to $20,000 that went to various projects in Sderot.
Unfortunately the situation in Sderot has only gotten worse, in all aspects, and even after the ceasefire there will be much help needed in restoring life to normalcy.
We plan on running again this year as a team and want to double the number of runners !
The funds raised this year will go to 2 projects:
1. Bar/Bat Mitzvah Celebrations for under privileged families – see: http://connectionsisrael.com/educational-programs/share-your-barbat-mitzvah-celebration
2. Helping to create a safe multi-purpose space providing education, religious expression and culture for 4 communities – see: http://connectionsisrael.com/get-involved/sderot-campus-connections-build-it-with-us
Please check out the Team Connection site at : http://runforsderot.connectionsisrael.com - see last years clip and pictures.
We will be training every Tuesday at 18:00 with the Hasolelim Running Club in Givat Ram (Jerusalem) – not mandatory.
Please share this opportunity with other runners.
Looking forward to hearing from you regarding your participation this year.
Sincerely,
Adi Friedman
