TEAM YACHAD: A FAMILY AFFAIR!
M
ore than a race, Team Yachad is about family, inclusion, fun, and food, too! More than a dozen “family teams” ran with Yachad at the Ninth Annual Miami Marathon. Hundreds of runners traveled to January’s Miami race and March’s Jerusalem Marathon to run for inclusion. All funds raised went directly to help those with disabilities attend Yachad’s famous Shabbatonim, summer programs and other inclusive activities.
