Thanks to the generosity of the JC’s readers, lives will be saved in Israel as Magen David Adom adds a brand-new emergency response motorbike to its fleet.

The successful fundraiser, launched last month, raised £35,000 via hundreds of supporters.

Gil Green, 59, a resident of Bnei-Yehuda, a town in southern Golan Heights, is the medic who will ride the JC-funded bike.

Green began his MDA career as a volunteer in 1989 after successfully finishing an EMT-ambulance driver course. Since then, until today, he has been active both in MDA ambulance shifts and in the medi-cycle unit.
