About Sderot:

Sderot is currently the front line in the war against Israel's enemies. But this war is not only about land, it is also about democracy and freedom to live in peace in our own homeland. I hope through running to increase awareness regarding this war of attrition, pray for peace with all people regardless of race or religion and strength for our government to act appropriately and accordingly.
