  How many km do you have to run

to help fight cancer?

 

When's the last time you saved a life?

There are many reasons for becoming part of the ICA Running Group in the Jerusalem Marathon: to maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet a personal challenge, enjoy the experience of a sports happening, or simply for the sake of having fun. 

 

The Israel Cancer Association suggests that you enhance your experience and incorporate charitable giving into your sports activity, in order to heighten cancer prevention awareness, enhance patients' and survivors' quality of life, and support research to eventually close in on a cure.

So how do we do it?

The Fourth Annual Jerusalem Marathon is scheduled to take place on Friday, 17 March 2017, and the Israel Cancer Association invites you to make your running experience more meaningful, a run that can help save lives

 

Select one of the Marathon race courses (full marathon, half marathon, 10 km or 5 km run), and open a personal fundraising page (a matter of minutes), featuring your own personal message, photo and/or clip, as well as your fundraising target. Share the page on social networks and with your friends, acquaintances and relatives, who will support the challenge you've taken on - and will contribute to your double personal effort - completing the race and raising your target sum.

You may open a fundraising page and call on friends and family to give a donation to support the fight against cancer, even if you choose not to run in the marathon.

 

Donation may also be made online by entering the fundraising page on ICA's website.

Your donation goes toward enhancing the lives of cancer patients and their families and also assists in financing research studies that will help us find a cure for the disease.

All runners who register for one of the marathon courses via the ICA will receive a group discount on registration fees.
