The Mountains We Climb for Those Who Can't

Miles for Smiles 2026: The Galilee Adventure in memory of Sgt. Major David Schwartz Z"L

Imagine the summit of Mount Meron: the view, the pride, the immense effort required to get there. Now, consider the quiet, often invisible struggles that children and adults with cognitive disabilities face every day in our community.

Their mountain is not a trail. It is the daily fight for independence, inclusion, and the essential treatments that open doors to fuller lives. And they are relying on us.

This coming March, Akim-Jerusalem invites you to hit the trail for them. The "Miles for Smiles" trek through the stunning landscapes of the Upper Galilee is more than a hike; it is a commitment that our special community will not be left behind.

Trek Details – Take Your First Step

Dates: March 10-12, 2026, Location: The breathtaking Upper Galilee

Your Participation Fee (Starting from ₪800) includes:

• Round-trip transportation.
• Two branded shirts and a backpack.
• Two nights at the Ruth Hotel.
• And other surprises!

This fee is the cornerstone of our mission, the commitment that enables us to undertake this critical fundraising initiative.

Your Commitment is Their Future

The need is great. We are not just hiking for fun; we are fighting to achieve two critical goals:

• Establishing our Resilience Centre
• Funding essential paramedical treatments that our annual budget cannot cover.

Will you commit to their future?

We ask every hiker to set a total fundraising goal of ₪5,000. The participation fee secures your spot in the adventure, but your commitment to reach ₪5,000 will ensure that our community members can live their lives to the fullest.
