Race to Save Lives, benefitting United Hatzalah

A group of students in Israel led by Alex Goldberg, Aharon Watson and Atara Tenenbaum arranged a race to benefit United Hatzalah, "The Race to Save Lives". The race from Gan Sacher to the Hebrew University campus at Givat Ram took place on March 4 of this year and drew over 500 participants and spectators. What began as a dream to raise money for one or two ambucycles snowballed as more and more people were excited about having the opportunity to "Race to Save Lives" either by actually participating in the 5K race or at least sponsoring runners in the race. In the end, enough funds were raised to put 10 lifesaving United Hatzalah ambucycles on the streets of Israel. Some people commented how they were directly helped by United Hatzalah ambucycles medics and wanted to show their appreciation. Others simply appreciated seeing the ambucycles ready and responding to car accidents, terror attacks and medical incidents and wanted to support in any way possible.
