Challenge yourself and save more lives

Help raise money so we can continue being a life-saving shield for all citizens of Israel.

From a Portable Bomb Shelter to funding blood services in the Marcus National Blood Services Centre and providing medics with bulletproof equipment, every single person who undertook a challenge in aid of Magen David Adom UK in 2024 can say that they truly helped to save more lives on the frontlines in Israel.
