About the Hostages and Missing Families Forum:

The Hostage and Missing Families Forum was formed by the families of the abductees less than 24 hours after the horrific attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7th, in which more than 1300 innocent civilians were murdered and hundreds were taken hostage. The Forum is volunteer-based and laser-focused on bringing the hostages back home to their families, to us. 

The forum offers families holistic medical and emotional support as well as professional assistance, and advances the ongoing efforts locally, regionally and globally, to bring the hostages and the missing back home.

Counting thousands of volunteers and supporters, the Hostage and Missing Families Forum includes family members and friends of the hostages alongside top security, law, media and diplomacy experts who are donating their time to the cause.

Donations are directed towards advancing all necessary efforts through diplomatic, medical and legal channels and towards raising public awareness to the hostage crisis by creating campaigns in Israel and abroad.

Demanding the release of innocent hostages does not require bravery, it is not political either. Many of the hostages are children, women and the elderly. We invite you to support us at this difficult time and stand by the innocent civilians and their families in a clear demand to bring them home now.

About Run for their Lives:

Run for their Lives is a global movement to bring awareness to the global nature of the hostage situation. Our aim is to dedicate 18 minutes a week until all hostages (of over 30 nationalities) are returned safely. The Fair Lawn chapter was started in November and has grown to be a community of over 200 members. We strive for solidarity and to use this as a platform for good engagement in supporting the Hostages and Missing Families Forum in their tireless effort build awareness and offer holistic medical and emotional support.
