Iʼve raised £6,164 to provide children in Tubas, in the West Bank of Palestine, with Tablet Computers
- Bradford on Avon
- Funded on Friday, 30th April 2021

Story
77 year old Judith’s challenge is to raise funds for computers for schoolchildren in Tubas, Palestine.
From 20 Feb-11 April I plan to cycle 22 miles DAILY on 51 CONSECUTIVE DAYS representing the road length in Gaza and the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in 2014. I’m aiming for 1,122 miles. The first 547 miles represents the number of children killed in that bombardment.
In March 2020, our town council agreed a formal Friendship with Tubas, supporting links made by Bradford on Avon Friends of Palestine with headmaster Jalal Khudairy, to improve sports facilities for the town’s youth.
The pandemic identified an urgent need for computer tablets, as so few families at Jalal’s school had one, severely restricting pupils’ education.
Over 90 families have received tablets for their children aged 6-12 to access online classes… but many more are needed… Thank you for supporting my tough venture.
And if you’d like to join me for all or part of a ride, please contact me: judithhammond@live.co.uk

4 years agoHeartfelt thanks to all who gave and for all your support. With cash and cheques received, the total came to an amazing £7,100 which Judith is looking forward to sending to the director of Education in Tubas. How wonderful for all the children in Palestine who will benefit from this.

4 years ago1,214 miles cycled My last ride on 11th April went to plan, with ’buddies’ joining me along the way: my daughter & her 2 sons a huge surprise! We met more buddies waiting at Avoncliffe Aquaduct, then cycled en masse via the river path into Barton Farm park, to lots of waiting supporters. I thanked all who had helped me raise £6.400 thus far: buddies, family and donors. And then cut the cake which everyone shared - memorable day to end my challenge. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/judith-hammond-tablets-for-tubas ends on 30 April

4 years agoMy cycle challenge is coming to an end & I’m so grateful to everyone who has donated. Today I have had the pleasure of cycling with our Mayor, Cllr Simon McNeill-Ritchie, who somehow found some free time in his busy schedule. My last ride will be 11th April. Some of my cycling buddies will be joining us at Avoncliffe. We are expected to arrive at the West end of the Tithe Barn at 4 pm, (Look out for the large distinctive Palestinian flag) so if you are free it would be lovely to see you - socially distanced in your bubbles, of course.
