On 1 May 2017, I'll attempt to run the Belfast Marathon in aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians, a charity that has done phenomenal work under the harshest of conditions.

All proceeds of this fundraising effort will be going to Medical Aid for Palestinians, a charity that works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under military occupation and as refugees. MAP work across the West Bank, Gaza, and in refugee camps in Lebanon, to provide essential health services to the those in desperate need of it. In times of humanitarian emergency, MAP responds rapidly with immediate medical aid and desperately needed assistance. For 32 years, they have worked under occupation, under blockade, and often under military bombardment to save lives in one of the most volatile regions on the world.

As well as providing medical aid, MAP takes on an advocacy role, addressing the root causes of the barriers to health for Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees.
