Go, Rob, go!

Rob Taub

Support Malki Foundation UK's Rob Taub as he runs in the Royal Parks Half Marathon on October 14, 2018 by clicking on this link.

The 13.1 kilometer route takes in some of the British capital's world-famous landmarks on closed roads and four of London's eight Royal Parks: Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens.

All proceeds from Rob's run will go to help fund therapies for children with disabilities in Israel via our acclaimed Zlata Hersch Memorial Therapists on Wheels Program, which has been operating successfully and efficiently since 2011.

He's been training like crazy so we're sure he'll do great!

If you live in London, please be sure to go and cheer him on!

Thanks, Rob, for your commitment to the Malki Foundation and to children with disabilities in Israel!

UPDATE 2:30 pm Jerusalem time, October 14, 2018: Well done, Rob! Finished the course in a little over two hours. Next year!

And sincere appreciation to Yael Bloom who also ran the race for Malki Foundation UK and David Berkley who was obliged to withdraw on the morning.

Job very well done, friends.

About The Malki Foundation

ESTABLISHED IN 2001, Keren Malki (the Hebrew name of The Malki Foundation) was created to serve as a memorial to the life of Malka Chana Roth, killed at the age of 15 in the bombing attack on Jerusalem’s Sbarro restaurant in August 2001, and who adored her own special-needs sister. Malki dedicated herself to caring for people with disabilities. ▪ THE MISSION of The Malki Foundation is to empower the families of special-needs children in Israel to choose home care. We do this in three ways: by long-term lending of essential home-care equipment; by granting funds to greatly subsidize the cost of para-medical therapeutic care; and, via the innovative Zlata Hersch Memorial Therapists on Wheels Program, by bringing therapists into the homes of special-needs children living in Israel’s southern and northern periphery communities. (Click for a video illustrating aspects of Keren Malki's three programs.) ▪ BEHIND The Malki Foundation’S WORK is the conviction that parents are usually the best advocates and caregivers for a disabled child. Their efforts deserve maximum encouragement and support. The Malki Foundation does this via concrete programs that, for more than a decade, have contributed positively to the lives of thousands of special-needs children and their families.
