JFTL Mitzvah Project Challenge

JFTL Mitzvah Project Challenge is a perfect opportunity to do a good deed by raising money and building awareness for Holocaust education. Participants will sign up for their own unique Journey For The Living fitness challenge and commit to walk, run, or ride at least 15 miles in any month of their choosing. This symbolizes the journey that Mark Schonwetter, a Holocaust survivor and Co-founder of MSHEF, undertook as a young boy in one night, accompanied by his younger sister and mother, from their hometown in Poland to a ghetto where they believed they would find safety from the Nazis.
