Rafi's Marathon for JNF

Rafi Selig is raising money for JNF Charitable Trust

London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·

JNF is an apolitical organisation benefiting all races and religions in Israel. It raises money for water projects, reservoirs and water conservation and has recently expanded its scope to run diverse projects for underprivileged people such as a hospital, a riding school for the disabled and a youth village.

Story

Ever since doing my first Park Run aged 6, I have always enjoyed running. When I was selected to run for Brent in the mini-marathon in 2019 it became my ambition to try the real thing.

In a week's time, my ambition will be realised and I am very excited to be running the 2025 London Marathon. Revising for my A-Levels at the same time as training has been an added challenge, but it has also given me additional focus.

Having been lucky enough to obtain a ballot place in the Marathon, I have decided to raise money for JNF to help the rebuild of Israeli communities which were decimated following the tragic and horrific events of 7 October 2023.

JNF is dedicating its efforts to supporting the communities of Nir Oz, Kfar Aza, Holit, Sufa, Nir Yitzhak and Nir Am. Many are still living in temporary accommodation, longing for stability and the community life they once had.

With your support, JNF aims to upgrade vital facilities and create spaces that foster connection, helping to restore the sense of community cohesion that was shattered on October 7th. Your donations can help rebuild community life and give the residents a place to call home once again.

I invite you to join me on this important mission. My target is to raise £2,000 for the JNF Charitable Trust. Together, we can make a significant impact in these communities and help them thrive once more.
