Relatives of Yoni Jesner, the young Glaswegian volunteer killed in a suicide bus bombing in Tel Aviv in 2002, will be running for the foundation established in his memory.

Nine-year-old Yonatan Jesner, who was named after his late uncle, and younger brothers Amitai, 7, and Ilan, 4, will be among a 50-plus contingent from the charity.

"I know I have a very important name," Yonatan said. "Although I never met my uncle, I feel as if I have because I've heard so much about him.

"He was an amazing guy for his age. He spent loads of time helping people and was brilliant at school. My dad told me that Yoni used to say that every little thing you can do to help others really matters."
