Run for Life in the Jerusalem Marathon 2022

Be a part of the joint Mental Health First Aid Israel (MHFAI) and Bishvil Hahayim Jerusalem Marathon team! The Jerusalem Marathon brings thousands of people from all over the country and the world into Jerusalem's streets. This year is the "Run for Life" team's third (!) at the Jerusalem Marathon. This year, the group has expanded to include 2 amazing non-profits: Mental Health First Aid Israel, who offer internationally acclaimed, evidence based training programs to equip you with the skills and knowledge to understand various mental health crisis situations. Bishvil HaHayim, who provide comfort and guidance to families recovering from the death by suicide of a loved one, and work to create a larger national conversation about suicide and suicide prevention. ​ We hope that by running through the streets of Jerusalem wearing t-shirts with the message that we can and must have conversations about mental health, we will be able to promote the organizations and amplify their core values: Knowledge about mental health can save lives, and we must work to remove the taboo surrounding the conversation. Your donation is the vote of confidence that our runners need as they take on the hills of Jerusalem with these important messages. In addition, your donations this year will go to Mental Health First Aid Israel, as the organization expands its activities across the country. Special thanks to Chabad of Sderot for sponsoring this cause this year. Want to run with us? Fill out this form to join our team: https://tinyurl.com/SmashtheStigma Want to support our activities?
