I am running the Jerusalem Marathon to help the soldiers in my unit, גדוד 5280 פלוגה ד, receive proper mental health counseling. For me and my fellow soldiers, the last 2.5 years have been marked with on and off Reserve Duty on the northern border, Gaza, and Lebanon. While we carry an immense pride, that pride exists alongside the lasting weight of trauma, uncertainty, and quiet exhaustion. I will run for myself, for my unit, and for every soldier still carying the impact of their service.
