More than 100 teens from OneFamily\u2014the national organization supporting bereaved families and victims of terror\u2014participated today (Friday) in a dedicated segment of the 2025 Jerusalem Marathon. They ran together in a powerful show of remembrance, hope, and connection.<\/p>\n

This emotional tradition has become a highlight of the annual marathon. Teenagers from across the country, along with OneFamily alumni, former counselors, bereaved families, and their support networks, run as one community\u2014lifting each other up and moving forward together.<\/p>\n
