(Jewish Group) Marine running in Tobacco Road Marathon to raise awareness about anti-Semitism

CARY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Marine in Cary is running in the Tobacco Road Marathon to raise awareness about combating anti-Semitism.

"I grew up accepting people of all races and religions, so I don't understand it--which is why I'm trying to raise awareness to try and get a better understanding of where this is coming from, and why this is happening," said Sgt. Zachary Scoular, who is currently stationed in Africa.


The 21-year old set up a GoFundMe to collect donations for Chabad of Cary and Morrisville, with the money earmarked towards highlighting anti-Semitism. In about five weeks, he's raised more than $2,800, some of which is from fellow Marines.
