Paratrek, an Israeli company specializing in field trips and marches for the physically disabled, enabled disabled hikers to participate in a cross-Negev hike organized by the OneFamily organization. The event marked the first time that handicapped victims in wheelchairs joined the hike. Paratrek allows people with physical disabilities to enjoy and hike along challenging nature trails and rough terrain that are otherwise not handicap accessible. Seventy-five Canadians traveled to Israel to participate in the event, with most hikers gravitating toward the Paratrek group. The participation of disabled hikers, including Peter Eckstein, who regained partial mobility after a severe spinal injury, showcased the strength and courage of terrorism victims in their recovery.
